A pandemic teaches us that there are things as leaders we should be doing all the time, not just when we are going through tough times. One of the more critical learnings of the COVID-19 pandemic is the importance of having a business continuity and disaster recovery plan in place. For businesses who had one when COVID-19 hit, they were more able to pivot, respond and keep business as close to normal as possible. Another key component is constant and clear communication with your employees, on both the professional and personal front. Be empathetic and acknowledge what your people are going through, and share how the business community can support them.
