Recommendation

Author Joseph Michelli interviewed leaders from almost 150 firms across industries to understand how they successfully navigated Covid-19. The resulting chapters – each with a list of planning tools – cover safety, communications,  decision-making, collaboration and change. The advice and tools, which also work in normal times, guide leaders who want to better manage – or even take advantage of – the next crisis. Crises magnify leaders’ impact, so they should reflect on how they want people to remember their actions and decisions during crises, then prepare their plans and priorities accordingly.

Take-Aways

  • Unlike the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the COVID-19 pandemic affected everyone.
  • During any crisis, a disproportionate amount of responsibility and pressure falls on leaders.
  • In a crisis, focus on your employees’ needs first.
