082 Amii Barnard-Bahn: Leading in the Time of COVID-19

Paradigm Shift with Christina Martini

In this episode, Christina Martini and Amii Barnard-Bahn discuss:

• The impact of COVID-19 and how it is affecting individuals and businesses and the roles leaders play at this critical juncture.
• The transitions, fluctuations, and shifts that are happening in the current environment for employees and leaders.
• What great leadership looks like to external stakeholders.

Key Takeaways:

• Have a decision-making model that is focused on the long term. Don’t allow fear to control the decision-making process.
• Now, more than ever, it is important to check in with your employees and make sure that nobody is falling into a void and is still understanding their purpose and feeling safe.
• Think about sustainability of success, not just short term survival. Don’t take bad short cuts that could hurt your business later.
• Act from a place of strength and cultivate your leadership presence.

"Great leadership, right now, looks like safety and it looks like purpose." — Amii Barnard-Bahn
