Leaders on leadership: How do leaders cope with shocks, uncertainty and volatility-and still lead? The easiest response (as well as our natural instinct) to this pandemic year has been to hunker down. But leaders didn’t have that option: their organizations-companies, universities, philanthropies, ministries, congregations-had to be re-invented on the fly. In a world with no “normal” in sight how does a leader lead, inspire, motivate? When everything seems to be breaking, what’s a leader to do?
