We are living in a unique time when we will all be remembered for how we managed ourselves and others through this crisis.
Nancy Koehn, a professor at Harvard Business School studied courageous leaders who faced various crises for two decades. She argues that great leaders are not born as such, but are self-made. They are forged during crises.
Great leaders must:
- Acknowledge people's fears and then encourage resolution.
- Give people a role and purpose.
- Emphasize experimentation and learning.
- Tend to energy and emotion: yours and theirs.
- How about you? How do you want to be remembered?
