What does it mean to lead an organization through a crisis that is not fleeting?
The COVID-19 pandemic has reminded us that not all crises are ‘acute’ or fleeting. In fact,
prolonged crises have lasting impacts on a business that require much more than
‘mitigation’ or ‘management’. Rather, these crises call for new mindsets, new ways of
working and new approaches to leadership. In this webinar, we explored organizational
resilience, in the applied form of case studies, frameworks and tools. This webinar was presented by Cosmic Centaurs Founder & CEO, Marilyn Zakhour, She was joined by Liesbeth Schiavo, who shared about her experience as People & Culture Director of Securitas, how they practically applied some of these approaches during the crisis, and what they learned from this past year.
This webinar was organized by Cosmic Centaurs in partnership with global executive search firm SpenglerFox .
