Some of the leaders I know are winging it during this pandemic and the re-opening of their businesses. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not criticizing them: winging it in this context is throwing out the old rule and play books, improvising on the fly, being more transparent than usual, and discovering new and heretofore unknown processes. They study and read voraciously, and network with everyone who might have some insight or perspective or experience: what they’re finding is the importance of problem solving, planning for change, and project management. Leaders who are really into their businesses treat this like saving a family or family member and are working hard to remain balanced while being a little emotional, stressed, exhausted, and depressed. None of them went to school for this, they’re just figuring out how to get this job done by doing it: engaging their team in collaboration and brainstorming, inspiring them to be as committed and involved as they are, and working diligently and effectively with everyone. Network as far and wide as you can in order to find others who can help you get the job done today.
