We all make mistakes, but some mistakes are more easily avoided than others! These crisis times cause us to make more blunders than normal, but I’m seeing a lot of leaders (of both non-profit and for-profit organizations) talking in ways that point to starting off the re-opening from COVID-19 shutdowns in incredibly damaging ways. This video lays out four of the most common and damaging ones I’m hearing frequently in May and why they are so problematic. Hopefully you don’t fall into these traps!

As leaders of all types of organizations (companies, non-profits, and government agencies) deal with the ongoing challenges of COVID-19, I thought this video series on leading during crisis would be helpful. I actually co-wrote a book on leading during crisis (focused on the education sector, but the research/lessons are cross-sectoral and multi-disciplinary) years ago and, sadly, the coronavirus has made it incredibly relevant again.

Coronavirus has quickly changed the landscape for global trade, industries, and day-to-day working habits around the world. While obviously some industries were going to be hit more powerfully than others due to the nature of the virus’s impacts, there are a large number of organizations around the world who are realizing that their organizational models and leadership approaches have put them at even greater risk. This article draws on a book I wrote with some colleagues a few years ago (Leading Schools During Crisis) to offer insights into how to lead during this crisis to hopefully navigate your organization to better times.
