In an exchange exchange meeting I had with HR leaders in 2020 f the question came up: Did we select too many fair-weather captains as leaders? People who are great in managing growth, mastering smaller or midsize challenges – but being over-challenged in a perfect storm? We heard about managers who duck and cover, hoping it will soon be over but NOT taking a strong stand, NOT giving orientation and NOT sharing an authentic feeling for the light at the end of the tunnel.
Now, 5 years later: Are we prepared for the next crisis which will eventually come?
