Leading in Crisis: Managing Pandemics and Other Misfortunes

Leading in Crisis tells the gripping narrative of repatriating thousands of young students around the world at the start of the 2020 pandemic and winnows from that clear guidance on how to manage complex crises.

Covid-19 is a wake-up call for today’s leaders to develop new skills: the wisdom to reassess and the flexibility to pivot. They must be inspiring coaches and collaborators. Above all, they must align their actions with their mission and values, looking for opportunities even in the darkest days.
