Leading Through COVID

In this episode on “What’s Next Now!” I share the story of how six key elements were put together into a framework for leading and preparing yourself:  through and after COVID. Elements for leading yourself like keeping humor active in your day, engaging in charitable activities, and creating ways to unplug from your digital world for just a little while. Elements for leading others which include building trust and faith during trying times and launching new initiatives, consistently bringing fun into the environment in simple ways and building a wrapper of support around individual and team interactions daily.  For example, would you ever imagine comparing what it takes to own and run a Domino's Pizza franchise to running a sales territory or professional services practice during COVID?  It is part of this story and it works! These six elements make up the framework I used to lead the Google Workspace team through COVID, with everyone intact while meeting our business objectives. I hope you will gain insights you can use, be entertained, as well as learn an adaptable framework you can put into use.
