Mike Staver, author of Leadership Isn’t for Cowards, offers guidance for company leaders trying to navigate the COVID-19 crisis in this free webinar.
NSCA members who attended the 22nd annual Business & Leadership Conference no doubt remember the powerful closing keynote offered by Mike Staver, author of Leadership Isn’t for Cowards.
As company leaders deal with the COVID-19 crisis, Staver is offering a webinar to provide guidance in dealing with these unprecedented challenges. NSCA members in need of some advice – and who isn’t? – should check out this webinar.
Webinar Takeaways from NSCA’s Team:
- Staver’s tips, while appropriate during the COVID-19 crisis, are universally relevant.
- There are too many “can’ts” in our culture’s lexicon. “One day we will die, but on the other days we will not” – an excellent motivational point by Staver.
- It’s important to stay as connected as possible. Those that do during this crisis will be better off in the long run.
- There is little time to worry. If you’re a worrier, actually schedule in a short amount of time per week to worry.
- Taking in too much news and coverage of the COVID-19 crisis is like “sipping on poison.”
- Constantly evaluate your own motives. Why are you taking the steps you’re taking – and do you feel good about it?
- It’s critical to 1.) Be rationally prepared; 2.) Be future focused; 3.) Avoid speculation; 4.) Be grounded in reality.
- This will not last forever.
