Reflecting During the Crisis
Many organizations are struggling with business continuity in the face of the current COVID-19 crisis. What should not be lost in the face of our shared adversity is the opportunity to take notes and learn. As a leader, you should calmly and dispassionately write down what worked, and what did not. This exercise is not for praise or for blame, but rather to have a historical record after the crisis has passed.
