Leading in Uncertain Times

by unthink | Apr 2, 2020

In a short time, we have witnessed significant disruption and economic impact to both organizations and individuals, where in the USA we have had the greatest number of workers filing for unemployment last week. No one can predict the magnitude and duration of the disruption. Regardless, we are dealing with a new paradigm that will require organizations to reevaluate, reposition and adjust their near-term goals and practices, and likely their strategy for the next few years, often overcoming cognitive bias. We should manage to what we know, and we should adjust sooner, to protect the core of the organization. Leaders need to be in the forefront and begin to plan rather than react to events in the crisis. Waiting may be too late.
