  • 4. How NOT To Waste A Good Crisis

    50:05||Ep. 4
    Leaders of all stripes are often guilty of not challenging the norm. Instead they are comfortable where they are and happy sticking to what they've always done. This approach might work fine when things are relatively certain. However, when there is a challenge or a crisis, leaders who chose to continue doing what they've always done will be the most vulnerable of all. Turning a crisis into an opportunity requires leaders who are not afraid to challenge status quo and push themselves and their organizations into areas where others fear to go. Join Lolly and Jared as they discuss the key skills and attributes that leaders need to ensure they're not letting a good crisis go to waste. ABOUT LOLLY:Lolly Daskal is one of the most sought-after executive leadership coaches in the world.
