“Undoubtedly, in any crisis, strong business leadership is required to help navigate through turbulent times. The recent events are different from the past, however, in that we now have a health crisis and a cultural crisis. For any executive, our ability to instill empathy, while addressing both personal and professional aspects of the issue, is essential. Our leadership is being tested and we need to raise our level of awareness and focus in these areas.”

“During uncertain times, it’s important to acknowledge the various emotions of clients and employees. To listen, to hear their needs and to move forward together from that place. Not only do we need to communicate a clear and concise action plan, but we as business owners need to listen from a more supportive role.”

“During and after a crisis, leaders must operate not just from a place of sympathy, or even empathy, but with compassion. It’s not enough to recognize what others are experiencing, but to actively practice compassion by going out of your way to help others emotionally, mentally and physically.”

“This time has been extraordinary in that we’re navigating a deep economic crisis while trying to care for the health and wellbeing of others.
