The coronavirus pandemic is a huge test for us as leaders. Not everyone will pass this test and not all leadership models will prove themselves in this new extreme reality. Together with an excellent business psychologist Mariola Czechowska - Frączak and the members of the ILFO Club, we discussed how to be an effective leader in times of uncertainty. Mariola, based on her excellent knowledge, proved that it is the courage to tell the truth, concise communication of facts, but above all empathy for human fears and understanding feelings are the features expected from leaders in times of crisis. She talked about the concept of transformational leadership, a leader with a vision who will be a support and role model for the team.
