As
thought leaders, while we do not claim to have all the answers, we, however,
are with you at a time like this which is why we have put together these
thoughts to proffer some form of relief for you and your business (Bruce
Condit).
Here
are a few things to go by:
Have
a plan.
Every plan must have very clear objectives and should capture specific actions
that will be taken during and after the crisis. These
objectives should ensure that the key audiences are kept informed and should
tell how the organization and business intend to stay afloat.
Keep Employees in the Loop. Maintaining an informed
workforce helps ensure that businesses continue to flow seamlessly. Endeavour
to always carry everyone along.
Be Flexible. This would be a great time
to rescind some rules – review sick leave and remote working policies.
Communicate your willingness to work with people and to advocate for them
during this time of crisis. They will forever remember this long after the
crisis has ended.
Take Appropriate Actions. While it holds true that
you cannot provide solutions to the entire problem, you need to understand that
you have to do the next right thing, however small and soon too.
The aftermath of crisis
management, or perhaps, mismanagement, last well beyond the end of a crisis
season. As
a leader in business, the world is watching carefully to see how well you
respond to uncertainty. In responding to COVID-19, it is required that we lead
primarily from the standpoint of humanity and compassion whilst combining
technical and corporate skills.
