Sharpening leadership skills during challenging times

Over the past few months, there have been more changes in the way the world works than the entire last decade. During these uncertain times, employees are looking to their leaders to bring their team to better heights while working remotely. Eugene Bernshtam shares on this blog how leaders can turn challenges into opportunities.

Some people tend to stay silent and take things slowly when presented with a challenge. Leaders must practice communicating early and often with their team even during tough times at work. While doing this can make a leader look overly apprehensive about their team, it’s better than looking like they do not care at all.

Certainly, team leaders and managers have an idea how the work dynamics will look like in the near future. It is in the best interest of their team members to let them know of the future steps. Find calmness and stability amidst chaos. This way, a leader becomes the sense of stability and consistency their team needs. Practice company integrity even when working remotely. One’s leadership skills can be sharpened when they lead with dignity, integrity, and truthfulness. In principle, challenges put one’s leadership abilities to test and allow them to emerge from the fire purified.

A leader himself, Eugene Bernshtam says mental discipline and transparency matter especially in the middle of uncertainty. With these qualities, one can learn from mistakes and rise from setbacks such as the COVID-19 global pandemic.
