Research Report: COVID-19 as a Challenge to Leadership

Published by Mickey Connolly at May 29, 2020

In March 2020 amidst the COVID-19 crisis, we at Conversant became very interested in the radical evolution leaders and organizations were facing worldwide. We know that we are smarter and more resilient together than we are apart, so we decided to reach out and conduct interviews with global leaders to get their perspectives and insight. We asked about what they were noticing, learning, challenged, and surprised by about their organizations and leading in this time.

In this episode of The Connection Diaries, Mickey Connolly, Gretchen Gagel and Jim Motroni briefly summarize the five research themes that came out of those conversations: 

  1. Leadership Communication: Communication that builds and sustains trust, alignment and productivity
  2. Crisis Response: Swift, effective action to protect the health of people and organizations
  3. Well-being: Assuring the mental and emotional well-being of our people
  4. Valuable Change: The crisis as a catalyst for valuable change
  5. Strategic Response: Adjusting plans and moving forward in the face of uncertainty and unpredictability

You can access the full research report here, which dives deeper into each of these themes and includes quotes and practical examples from our interviews with these leaders in diverse industries around the world.

We will be hosting live webinar-style conversations on these themes over the coming weeks. You can register and find more information about these conversations and all of our upcoming webinars on our Community Gatherings page.

If you and your community have been having inspiring conversations and ideas about how to navigate the COVID-19 reality, we would love to hear about them! Please comment below or connect with us on LinkedIn. Let’s unleash our collective brilliance.
