Use these frameworks and strategies on your leadership journey
Uncertainty, fear, and unprecedented circumstances. What can we do? There are things we can do right now to lead ourselves and help others. We can also start to navigate the ship through uncharted waters - we can craft a better future, now. We look at how to frame our challenge, how to look after ourselves, how to deal with amygdala hijack responses, confront the brutal truth of the pandemic, and then start to shape what’s next.
Why you should listen: useful leadership principles in crisis and beyond
Tips to look after yourself: increase (or introduce) meditation, get fresh air and sunshine, stop doing stuff that affects your immune system, create connection and build interactions.
Be mindful of the uncertainty effect: survival mode and panic buying, distraction, short term memory suppression, irritability, adrenaline and getting hyped up.
How to look after your people: online collaboration tools, instigate virtual social interactions like online scrabble or virtual happy hour, support those who live alone the most - think plants and pets, share stories of generosity and appreciation, set up regular daily and weekly routines for remote teams
Confront the brutal truth: the future progress of the pandemic effect
Start creating a new normal: we aren’t going back to the way things were
Make a stand and a declaration: what kind of future do you want to create?
Lead with questions: Share interesting questions (not answers) to spark possibilities!
