It’s been about 6 months since we began to realize that COVID-19 was going to be more than a blip on our radar. During that time, countless had to get creative about turning their home into an office, fostering remote team engagement, and keeping businesses afloat. Very few were prepared for this sudden and seismic shift. This endeavor is even more complicated for women since they are the primary caregiver in many households.

It’s been approximately 5 months since COVID-19 completely changed the world as we know it. At first, it seemed like this would be a temporary disturbance and things would go back to normal soon enough. As months started to go by, many realized that the old normal will most likely never exist again. This disturbance has given us the opportunity to reassess and rebuild in a way that will make us more resilient to future disruptions.

Every CEO I coach desires to lead a peak-performing organization. Through the coaching process, we uncover the challenges that constrain their vision from becoming a reality. The constraints inhibiting catalyzation most often result from a lack of focus on formulation. As a fellow Maverick on the Predictive Index, I get it. Setting the foundation and building infrastructure for highly creative and driven people is tedious and nowhere near as rewarding as bringing in the deals and ideating new so

Let’s face it, being an effective leader required dedication, focus and perseverance before COVID-19 hit. Now everyone is just doing their best to balance keeping their professional and home life afloat with no separation between the two. Companies are talking about how productivity has gone up but they fail to mention the obvious; people are working longer hours with potentially smaller teams to get the same if not more accomplished.

When the winds of change blow through any organization, there tend to be a wide range of feelings, emotions, and reactions among employees: mayhem, stress, fear, confusion, excitement, and even relief. Most people respond to change by going through phases (much like the stages of grief), when presented with a major shift in business process, strategy, or leadership.

The world we live in desperately needs leaders. Leaders are needed at every level and in every place. A good leader isn’t just a boss. A leader is someone at any level who takes a stand for what’s right and with that calls upon others to do the same, through effective communication and correct response. Whether it is calling out injustice or calling up leadership in those you work with it is important to encourage voicing what’s ethically sound and following through with moral action.

There’s no denying that every company goes through ups and downs. There are times of prosperity and abundance and times of scarcity and desperation. For employees who are lucky enough to be present for the abundance, the stress of the difficult times often becomes magnified. The higher the high, the lower the low. Normally, the roller coaster of ups and downs/highs and lows is just a typical cycle of business.

Retaining employees is a lot like being in a relationship: it takes a lot of hard work, but the payoff is well worth the effort. This is especially the case when more companies enter your market. New competitors mean you’ll have to work extra hard to find top talent, so the last thing you want to do is lose any of your current employees.
