The Coronavirus Pandemic or COVID-19 has thrust the world into a completely unexpected new reality and many of us are still in the shock and denial phase.
As organizations move through the change curve and finally start to recognize that this reality may be with us longer than we would like, the prospect of having to make some really hard decisions and adjustments as a business becomes more and more real.
Having dealt with SARs in Asia for Cisco and aftermath of the financial crash of 2008 for LinkedIn, Steve has experience in making hard decisions in the midst of a crisis. In this webinar we’ll delve into answers to big questions that you are dealing with right now.
These are a just a few of the many impossibly challenging realities leaders must confront today as a result of the pandemic. We are in a period where trust inside an organization is essential and new norms need to be established.
How we communicate and how we operate has to change.
