Leading for impact in times of crisis

In episode 2, Marya Besharov, Professor of Organisations and Impact, and Eero Vaara, Professor in Organisations and Impact, offer their insights into leadership practices in the context of the pandemic.

Marya and Eero discuss how to make sense of the current crisis and its implications, as well as leadership strategies for effectively navigating the competing economic and social demands the crisis brings to the fore.

These include creating 'guardrails' to hold your organisation to its most pressing priorities and values during this challenging time, making dynamic decisions to adapt to rapidly changing circumstances, and using stories and narratives to develop a sense of the possible and mobilise action.
