With many countries reeling from the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, leadership is proving to be a model of recovery and to lift the countries from the lockdown to transformation. Effective crisis leadership is all about the people: lessening the impact of chaos on those you lead by paying attention to resource allocation, communication, clarity of vision, and caring relationships. In the midst of chaos, leaders cannot allow themselves to get overwhelmed or become immobilized by political persuasions. More so, they go beyond merely responding to crisis to being proactive and positive change agents.
