COVID-19 has created unprecedented circumstances throughout the world that resulted in a disruption to “Business as Usual”. The world economy has been shaken enormously, scores of lives have been lost, and a “New Normal” has been adopted by everyone. In this atmosphere, leadership becomes a high commodity, and a well-sought after skill. Therefore, individuals everywhere turn to decision-makers at the top of the hierarchy for their leadership skills. This paper provides examples to illustrate the importance of leadership to turning disaster into efficient response.
