We all respond to situations in different ways. Leaders, governments, and organizations were created in their way, depending on their traditions or customs, and attitudes. In a difficult situation of this level, following the written rule does not work.

 There is no manual for dealing with a dilemma. Your behavior, feelings, facts, and emptiness guide you when making choices. Your decision and action depend on your values, principles, and training throughout your travel company trajectory as a leader. Experience is probably the most important quality a leader brings. In a high-ground crisis, the person is the most important. The best leaders are the best, the ability to isolate oneself from a difficult situation and think clearly about how to deal with it.

Not all famous leaders are humble, but there are reasons to desperately pursue this trait, says psychologist (EI) Harvey Deutschendorf.

Humble leadership in crisis

The practices and lessons learned in times of adversity teach us true humility. Humility is a virtue that tells us when someone is qualified to lead others. Lead with humility and high EI shows that’s the stop for them. They accept when things don’t go well.

Can we train leaders in humility?

We cannot teach leaders humility because we have no control over their experiences and habits. However, we can teach leaders to be more self-aware, open to communication, listen, act on facts and observations, and be players.

Can we hire leaders with such skills?

Yes, we can, we can! To build a vibrant organization, we need leaders with a combination of humility and action. However, we now live in a variety of times and situations. Leaders with varied experience and meekness are suited to change and respond to adversity.

Responsiveness and crisis management

During the Covid-19 crisis, we saw many leaders from different countries fail to relate to the realities that are available to them.

The Tata Group made Rs 1500 crore in Covid-19 embossing. The group worked as an individual, using their experience, technology, and infrastructure to build capacity and build self-reliance. Ratan Tata and N Chandrasekaran led the effort forward, keeping in touch through tweets and newspaper impressions about humanitarian aid and the status of many social health efforts.

Honest and empathetic leadership

‘Good Leaders Led by Example, may seem simple – even a little short – but most companies that have fallen into the Covid-19 crisis prove it’s never easy.

When the seriousness of Covid’s problems became clear, Marriott CEO Arne Sorenson revealed a good leader. He sent a video message to all employees expressing sympathy for the employees or their families affected by the virus before Sorenson emphatically stated that the disease had been “the worst disaster ever. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has shown leadership with compassion and loyalty.

At times like these, leaders at all levels must not only find ways to stay ahead but also think about ways to keep their teams safe and efficient.
