Description
A year ago, business leaders around the world began grappling with the pandemic and its massive impact on the workplace, the economy, and people’s lives. Largely isolated and working from home, top executives were not only forced to quickly figure out how to adapt to keep their company running. They also had time to re-examine their standard practices and beliefs about doing business and leading others. Thanks to COVID-19, many leaders have embraced change, gained self-awareness, and become better leaders. What these leaders have learned about flexibility, resilience, empathy, collaboration, tackling inequity, and maximizing everyone’s potential can help other leaders shift and prepare—in matters of strategy, operations, and mindset—for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
