Enjoyed this timely and practical organizational leadership guide from McKinsey.

Key elements include priorities, roles, time, and energy.

Deliberate calm: How to steer into the storm.
Bounded optimism: How to mix confidence and hope with realism

As human beings, we can practice integrative awareness before, in, and after the moment.

Six steps:

1. Adapt your personal operating model.
2. Set your intention.
3. Regulate your reactions.
4. Practice reflection.
5. Reframe your perspective.
6. Manage your energy.

Leadership in a crisis like this is an enormous responsibility, yet it can also be seen as a great privilege. Integrative awareness keeps leaders centered in the storm, giving them the focus they need to take care of themselves and the people and organizations they lead.

Lead with purpose!
