It’s easy to be confused about leadership in the good times. When a crisis hits and good times come to an end, as they have now, we are reminded that leaders are defined by none of these things, but instead by their behavior and their actions.

You will undoubtedly encounter crises in your professional and personal life; in fact, you probably already have. A crisis is unexpected and it forces you to throw out assumptions – things you took for granted as true. It doesn’t have to be as serious or as widespread as a global pandemic to qualify as a crisis. No matter what crisis you or your team are facing, the tools you learn here will help you to navigate through it and emerge stronger on the other side.

Some people think that implementation isn’t a critical part of leadership. They don’t think it’s a necessary skill. They think that leaders are “vision” people who don’t have time, energy, or sometimes even the ability to spend time on implementation. 

And yet, we know that leaders get… things… done. Leaders recognize that their purpose is to the challenge the status quo and change the order of things for the better. They get things done. And therefore, they prioritize, execute, and implement. They don’t have to do it all themselves, but they have to get it done.
