How Crisis Affects Corporate Leaders in 2022 and Helpful Resources

I was stunned while reading this article entitled “How Crisis Affects Corporate Leaders in 2022 and Helpful Resources”

I’ve been thinking about what it means to lead a company through crises and how each crisis affects corporate leaders in 2022. A few years ago, I believed I had handled just about every type of crisis conceivable. How wrong I was.

In recent years, we have dealt with a global pandemic, a divided political nation, and civil unrest. We all learned how to pivot and maneuver through a pandemic. We have strengthened our resolve. We have invested in our teams and talent. We have committed to real DE&I outcomes. And we have invested endless energy in our companies and in support of our clients.

Today, as I write this, we are past the first week of Russia’s siege on Ukraine, a sovereign nation. I am disgusted and awed by the news coming out of Ukraine, Russia, Poland, the United Nations, NATO, and the U.S.

Many headlines are gut-wrenching, and others are filled with hope. They read like an unyielding yo-yo:

Would Putin press the nuclear button?

Miles-long lines, the kindness of strangers, an uncertain future

Stories Of Ukrainian Heroism Are Emerging And Giving The Country Hope

Russia hits back at Europe over flight ban

FIFA to suspend Russia as IOC calls for athletes’ suspension

US cutting off Russia’s central bank from US dollar transactions

There are simply thousands of headlines that we need to stay abreast of while determining what we need to do to remain?adaptable, resilient and emotionally intelligent.

As a corporate leader, I have been spending more time learning new ways to lead in what has become the new normal.

If you’re reading this, you too are feeling the strain of today’s headlines. All corporate leaders are affected by what is happening in the world and we need to band together to remain adaptable, resilient, and emotionally intelligent.
