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.
