“I Will Survive.” Leadership in a Time of Crisis


A Man writing on a notebook.

As we navigate the turbulent waters of crisis, leadership is both tested and revealed. The role of a leader is never more critical than when faced with the unexpected and the uncontrollable.



Quick Decisions and Agility:

  • The ability to make swift decisions and adjust strategies is crucial. It can be the deciding factor that maintains calmness instead of being thrown into chaos.

  • Embrace honesty and openness in all communication.

  • Demonstrating adaptability can significantly reduce anxiety and fear among team members and stakeholders alike.

 


Good Communication and Transparency:

  • When leading during a critical time, it’s imperative to offer clear, quick, and transparent communication. This approach not only keeps everyone informed but also aligns the entire organization towards a strategy.

  • During a crisis, fear can spread as quickly as misinformation. A leader’s role is to provide reassurance through direct and truthful updates.

  • An open-door policy is more than a metaphor—it's an invitation for dialogue, a means to address concerns, and a way to manage rumors.

  • Leaders should provide a step-by-step plan for what comes next and ensure that you follow through with it.



Leadership in times of crisis is not for the faint of heart. It demands resilience, precise communication, and the ability to morph with shifting circumstances.
