Crisis Leadership
Crisis is Opportunity
The Japanese use two characters to describe crisis: one is danger, the other is opportunity. While we can’t avoid some of the collateral damage in tough times, we can find new opportunities if we have the right approach.
Some organizations during the Covid-19 pandemic have managed to shift to hybrid models that include a “work at home” culture with remarkable results. Others haven’t. This period of uncertainty has created for some companies what military strategists call “the fog of war”. Or in this case, “the fog of pandemic”. This is a time when business owners and leaders are asking tough questions. “How do we survive this”? “Is this the time to pivot and explore new possibilities”? What opportunities exist for you and your business?

Approach
Evaluating emotional awareness for decision making may seem like a dispensable exercise—or at least not a critical tool in decision making. Neuroscience tells us not to ignore our emotions in making critical decisions. We methodically frame problems, consider alternatives, collect data, weigh options, and then make decisions. Whether you’re negotiating an acquisition, hiring an employee, jockeying for a promotion, granting a loan, trusting a partner—taking any gamble—be aware that your reptilian brain is busy in increasingly predictable, measurable ways with its own assessment of the situation. You’d better be paying attention.
