Pre-COVID Boss to Employee: I’m in charge. I have all the answers. I don’t need to discuss the situation with you.
Post-COVID Boss to Employee: I’m in charge. I don’t have all the answers. I need to discuss the situation with you.
What are the top leadership lessons that we’ve learned in this crisis?
Is it best to be open, up front, honest, and vulnerable with your employees?
Do you tell them that cash flow is struggling, sales have dropped, and no one is buying?
Do you let them know you don’t know what to do and that you’re concerned about layoffs or going out of business?
Do you protect your employees and don’t tell them any of your concerns — it’s better this way?
These are thoughts every leader faces at some point. But how do they respond and what’s the pros and cons of each?
It’s easy to tell someone how they should act, but it’s a totally different thing when you have to do the acting.
What are your thoughts?
