“Unprecedented” is a word that’s been used a lot over the past year, but for business leaders still trying to navigate the socio-economic fallout, it’s still relevant. From this article crafted by Courier, it’s obvious that leaders in tough times must change their mindsets to focus more on the short-term strategy.
While there’s no playbook for COVID, there are a few things that matter when shaping your approach to leadership in any crisis. Courier lists five in particular:
- Be ruthlessly objective in your strategy, whatever it may be
- Take absolute responsibility for your team
- Be able to constantly motivate yourself
- Be able to take effective action when encountering pitfalls
- Think about your people – and taking them with you
