So much has happened in the past two years that most of us never anticipated. We’ve had to change, pivot, evolve, and rethink how we lead our teams. Moving ahead, we face more uncertainties. How will inflation shake out? Will there be new supply chain shortages? Will staffing shortages get better or worse? Will COVID bounced back or will there be a new pandemic? Here are some keys to being an effective leader in these uncertain times:
- Build transparency through trust.
- Have the courage to take calculated risks and resist the urge to second guess your decisions.
- Have grit: Dig deep and ignore your critical inner voice. Resist the urge to turn back or quit out of fear.
- Expect short-term setbacks; see these as learning opportunities and not failures.
