Who Stole My Playbook, Episode 1, Leading through the Pandemic

Has there really been a playbook for leading through adversity?  If so, traditional approaches for recognizing and addressing key challenges were most certainly shattered in 2020. We recently sat down with a highly regarded and experienced group of CEO’s to discuss some of these leadership challenges and how they are addressing them.  The result is a 3-module podcast which casts a light on Economic, Social and Governance issues experienced by associations who represent some of our major industries and professions. Please join us for the first module which speaks to abrupt Economic loss as a result of the Pandemic and lessons learned.  The Social and Governance modules will be released over the next couple of weeks.
