Happy New Year!
Welcome to the January issue of
Leadership Excellence
Year 2020 was dreadful. 2021 wasn’t any
better. Will 2022 provide any hope?
With yet another Covid variation casting
a grim shadow over the world, work from
home, social isolation, the possibility
of global lockdowns and restrictions,
inflation fears and the investment
required to keep up with technological
disruption, continue to put downward
pressure on company bottom lines.
As we head into the third year of the
pandemic, what will these pressures
mean for the workplace in 2022? And
more importantly, how can leaders
remain competitive in a constantly
evolving business environment?
The January issue of Leadership
Excellence includes articles focusing
on leadership priorities, challenges and
opportunities in the new world of work.
On the cover, we have Brian Hartzer’s
article, Leadership Priorities For
Navigating The Next Normal that talks
about critical practices to help build
the engagement and cultural resilience
needed to navigate the “Next Normal.”
David J. Friedman’s, The Top 3 Problems
For CEOs In 2022, discusses how culture
factors into the top three issues CEOs
face this year.
Kelly McDonald’s article, Strong
Leaders Discover Pandemic Possibilities
chalks out six lessons learned and the
opportunities for leaders, as we head
into another year of the pandemic.
Great leaders have been able to
reimagine their work and have found
new ways to motivate, engage, and
inspire their employees. Despite all
these adaptations, none have been
more important than the ability to
show empathy and compassion for
employees, says Adam Bandelli in
his article, Leadership Priorities For
2022: Five Essential Skills That Make Up
Relational Intelligence.
In brief, as we head into year three of
the most challenging business climate,
leaders must continue to observe,
adapt and remain nimble enough to
see the possibilities that can ultimately
make companies and teams stronger
and better.
We hope you find this edition’s expert
articles informative and insightful.
As always, we look forward to your
valuable suggestions and feedback on
our ePublications.
