There’s no getting around the fact that Covid-19 has almost completely upended the world. After nearly 6 months of this, we each need to settle down, assess our own circumstances and options, and create an environment that is driven by as much of what we can control as possible. We can’t ignore this… period. I recently talked to a business owner friend who told me how his operation is drifting, and his key people are all fighting amongst themselves and with him: when I asked him whether he is practicing good communications and is open and transparent… he went into a long list of excuses why he hasn’t. I stopped him and said there’s no substitute for effective leadership… ever. In these extraordinary times, it’s important to invest in and maintain the relationships that make us who and what we are – personally and professionally. If you’re leading a business (or anything else), your efforts and actions should be driven by the basics of effective management and leadership. That’s the best way to get the most out of your personal and professional relationships and responsibilities today.
