Adaptive leadership key to navigating virus crisis

Dynamic adjustments are required to meet the leaders own personal needs and those of the organisation and the workforce is key during critical incidents.

Resilient leaders are needed in this pandemic crisis, who must respond and adjust to the circumstances across the organisation.

This pandemic has come with prolonged stress and fatigue for leaders since the organisations are not performing as initially planned.

Diversity in technology enables an organisation to have alternatives, in cases of crisis like what we have now.

Executive managers must eventually rely upon other level leaders, a middle- level management “deep bench” can be essential during sustained crisis management.
