Image
The COVID-19 crisis has posed unprecedented challenges to the business world. Organizations are already struggling with business continuity, workforce management and talent acquisition as all these now are to be taken care of remotely. Over the last few months, the entire market scenario has drastically changed and it looks like it will remain so for a while.

An Employer’s Guide to Navigating Through the COVID-19 Crisis: Compliance Obligations and Safety Protocols to Consider

Image
OVERVIEW COVID-19 is a new disease. It’s hard for employers to know what to do or what they are expected to do as the situation changes daily. State law may affect an employer’s obligations. However even in currently unaffected states, employees expect employers to do what they can to keep them safe and be able to answer “what if.” With all types of risk assessment and emergency planning the best first line of defense is elimination of hazard.

The Chameleon-Leader: Build Deep Trust, Respect, and Alignment with Every Team Member for 2020 and beyond

OVERVIEW Athletic coaches provide examples of the entire range of leadership styles . Consider Vince Lombardi, who led the Green Bay Packers to two Super Bowl wins. Lombardi is famous for saying, “Winning isn’t everything. It’s the only thing.” Compare his competitive, no-nonsense style with the animated style of Tommy Lasorda. After winning two World Series titles with the LA Dodgers in the 1980s, Lasorda came out of retirement to lead the 2000 US Olympic baseball team to a gold medal. If called upon to imagine Lasorda, sports fans are likely to picture him gesturing rapidly as he stirs up team spirit. But fans are unlikely to picture Phil Jackson gesturing such an animated way. They are more likely to imagine Jackson drawing and studying detailed diagrams while keeping his emotions out of view. Yet the comparatively reserved Jackson, who recently led the LA Lakers to three NBA titles after coaching the Chicago Bulls to six NBA championships, is every bit as successful
