And Covid-19 just goes on and on. Companies are finding their new normal business levels, having to lay off staff, trying to maintain new safety procedures, attracting customers back to the fold, and looking for ways to engage and motivate employees. Many leaders I talk to speak of depression – theirs and their employees, and they know that they have to deal with and overcome these bad times and feelings. They are finding that their leadership style and efforts are both changing and becoming how they may be defined going forward: they’re aware how fragile this all is and fighting hard not to let this destroy them and their businesses. Some are faltering, but many more are growing in stature and fortitude. This last may be one of the silver linings hidden in this pandemic: it’s making fighters and motivators and survivors of them. Every week that this continues presents more opportunities to hone your leadership skills, not the least of which are hand-on involvement, communications, coaching, integrity, transparency, and professionalism. Dig deep into the well of your resiliency and provide the hands-on leadership needed to overcome these challenges today.
