Changing perspectives

4/5/2020

0 Comments

 
As we move into our second month of lock-down we have all been faced with working with the ‘new normal’. Regular remote meetings and innovative approaches are springing up as we resourcefully meet the new challenges. I suspect that nothing will ever go back to how it once was now we have discovered and adapted to these new ways of working. We might well start to reassess what travel is really necessary, and how much office space we actually require. However, we may also find that our perceptions of individuals have also changed.  I was struck this week by the view that celebrities are fast losing support, as they fail to identify with the realities of what normal people are facing in their social media activities. Clients too have explained how certain people have unexpectedly stepped up the mark with a flexible and adaptable approach, while others have entrenched in established protocols refusing to make the best of a less than ideal landscape. ‘Done is better than perfect’ was a regular mantra at Facebook, and this is surely the current requirement. We need to let go of ideals, in favour of solutions fit for the current reality. This is not to let go of our principles, but to help everyone move forward. What example and leadership are you engaging with?
Consider how your own approach may be interpreted by other.
 
What example are you setting to others?
What lessons are others taking from your current approach to leadership?
How are you contributing to the resilience and stability of those you work with?
