Five rules for effective leadership in difficult times

Summary

This article by Christian Harrison, writing for The Conversation, identifies the following five points:

1. Have a vision. Envisioning involves creating a picture of the future of an organisation.
2. Adapt and be open to change. Good leaders develop appropriate strategies for their organisations in periods of crisis or stability alike.
3. Generate new ideas. The uncertainty of a volatile business environment means that innovation and creativity will be critical in 2022.
4. Solve problems creatively. Good leaders recognise the value of their teams’ input. Listening carefully to customers’ needs and concerns is also crucial.
5. Inspire and motivate. Effective leaders need to understand the fears, hopes and concerns of those who work for them.
