Private and public sector leaders will need to be agile and adaptable to succeed in a reshaped environment
The Covid-19 global pandemic is likely to be one of the biggest challenges faced by leaders worldwide.
National leaders have had to make difficult decisions and will be expected to make many more as the crisis continues. Those in positions of power have had to delicately balance the health and safety of citizens with the economic impact. The key to a successful risk-based reopening is continuous screening and testing coupled with hygiene and social-distancing protocols. People will need to continue to comply with regulations and not only act responsibly, but also be accountable for their actions.
Despite expected changes, ultimately core leadership principles are still valuable. Consistent and effective communication is still essential in managing a dynamic and evolving crisis of this magnitude. Leaders need to ensure they communicate decisions quickly and effectively, so that everyone is clear on what they need to do and when they need to do it.
