Leadership: Leading Through and Beyond the Pandemic

We are living in unprecedented times; some kind of threshold is approaching though we aren't sure what it is nor how it will impact us and our businesses. We will share a few thoughts about what this means for us as leaders of businesses. What will we need to do that we might not be doing now? What action can we take to support the productivity, resilience and sustainability of our business and the people we work with?
