Some Thoughts for you as a Leader
Agility - Rethink your assumptions and look at the new reality.
Resilience - What’s your backup plan or recovery plan and questions you might need to answer?
Process - You want defined work, but not over defined and rigid.
Inspirational Leadership - Are you still checking in with your teams?
Positive Outlook - While there are not yet certain answers, are you remembering your team’s strengths and talents?
Achievement Orientation - Are you asking your teams to commit to moving forward and asking them to set milestones and goals? (Small goals or milestones, yet long-term target)
