Leading through crisis: 5 things we have learned about organisations and people

COVID-19 and the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement have dominated the headlines in 2020 and taught us multiple things about people and organisations.
The research appears to be more heavily, if not completely, focused on responses to COVID-19 as opposed to the equally important matters of social justice and racial equality brought to the forefront by the BLM movement.
However, there are important leadership lessons to be learned from both crises that can impact the future of organisations. Dr Zachary Walker explores five of these lessons focusing on what we have learned at a societal, organisational, and individual level.
