I wonder what we should do when we don't have a lot of information available to us during these times? Should we be satisficing perhaps?
-
Great inclusion of a citation here! Well done.
-
Can you think of a specific event that you could develop strategies for? What differences would there be between the strategies needed in the case versus in mining? @TimothyZulu

Jennifer Chelsea Veres replied to RQ RS
That sounds like an awful situation, and certainly warrants being deemed a crisis @RQRS !
-
Jennifer Chelsea Veres replied to Mark Sugrue
A very thoughtful reflection @MarkSugrue ! Thank you for sharing. A very scary time for a lot of people who would have been struggling!
-
Jennifer Chelsea Veres replied to Nelson Marin
Thanks for the great sources here, @NelsonMarin . Have you come across a specific crisis that you could categorize using the framework above?
-
Jennifer Chelsea Veres replied to Timothy Zulu
How would you categorise it using the above framework, @TimothyZulu ?
-
Jennifer Chelsea Veres replied to RQ RS
It certainly does put things into perspective, doesn't it @RQRS ?

Jennifer Chelsea Veres replied to Nelson Marin
Great article there @NelsonMarin !
-
@SvitlanaGural A very positive view there ! And absolutely agree :D
-
Some pretty devastating effects there @MuhammadYasir - I was wondering if you had any specific steps that you could think of that could have helped offset the effects? something you learned from the experience?
-
Thanks for sharing @MarkSugrue - did you find that this works well or is there anything you would change?
-
This is a great process @SamuelLeite - have you found it playing out step by step in practice? Or did you need to adapt it?
-
What are some examples of available avenues that you rely on most, @MurtalaJinjiri ?
-
What methods of cooperation did you apply @BOLLASAMIRHABIB ?
-
How did it work out in the end @TimothyZulu ?
-
That's a good point @MarkSugrue Mark - interactivity offers a different way of learning that traditional learning approaches might lack :)
-
Good to acknowledge your potential barrier there @SamuelLeite , however, I think you are doing a great job :)
-
@TimothyZulu Great suggestions :)

Hope you find the course helpful Rejna :)
-
Welcome Mohammad! Great to have you on the team!
-
Great to have you on board Marie :)
-
@OliviaLorensene Absolutely. It can be really easy to spot ingenuity at times, and so perhaps we look less for empathy and more for honesty?
-
@FrancescaFarrugia Great points that you raise! This can highlight the true subjectivity of perceptions.
-
Jennifer Chelsea Veres replied to Puran Gurung
@PuranGurung That is an interesting take. Perhaps in some circumstances, this could be really helpful!
-
@NigelPreisner Fantastic insight here from a really detailed experience. I think reassurance is really important in this case, and in many. I think it ties in with some of the ideas we discussed in effective crisis leadership quite nicely.
-
Jennifer Chelsea Veres replied to [Learner left FutureLearn]
@AshleyDavis That is a great point - particularly when everyone is being asked to do something. There needs to be very clear communications around expectation and behaviour to ensure that everyone is understanding, and also willing.
-
@MarionMcNaught That is a great point - sometimes just listening to someone else is enough.
-
@RobertAdom-Boateng Thank you for sharing such a tragic experience. I am so sorry to hear about what has happened. This is absolutely a time where empathy is needed.
-
@ardhesasuhilman Thanks for sharing with us! That is a great way of showing empathy
-
Some great comments are being presented here. It looks like we can see a lot of strengths of Charisma, but also some shortcomings. Perhaps this comes down to the leaders' personality, value system, or motivations. However, there might be something more sinister at play if left unchecked. Perhaps this highlights the importance of checks and balances as well!
-
@NigelPreisner Great points - are there any consistent/overlapping qualities or characteristics that all 3 leaders possessed?
-
@PuranGurung Thank you for sharing - these are all really great points :)
-
@MarionMcNaught Thank you for your insight. Some great observations here. Why do you think these characteristics are important during a crisis?
-
Jennifer Chelsea Veres replied to [Learner left FutureLearn]
@AshleyDavis Thank you for sharing. Do you think the same kind of leadership would be as useful in non-crisis mode? I am wondering if there is more of a need for specific characteristics during certain times.
-
@SamukelisiweManyoni Why do you think they were the most effective?
-
@DESMONDMAOSA Some great insight here - I think leading by example is really hard to do, but often the most appreciated!
-
@RobertAdom-Boateng Why do you think they were the most effective?
-
@SophieGoldingay why do you think these are most important during a crisis?
-
@petercarroll I think that is a really good point - clear and articulation are really important!
-
@ImmaConcepcionOani That is a great point - did you see that coming through in these examples?
-
Jennifer Chelsea Veres replied to [Learner left FutureLearn]
@AshleyDavis @NigelPreisner Calm being a running theme in our responses :)
-
@NigelPreisner Thank you for this level of detail. I really think calmness is going to be something we see leaders wanting to develop over time. Do you think that having good technical competence can help develop that calm and assuredness?
-
@PuranGurung Thank you for sharing - some great points here :)
-
@MarionMcNaught Great points here - have you seen some of these in any leader in particular over the last couple of years?
-
@SamukelisiweManyoni Communication is definitely important - I agree.
-
@DESMONDMAOSA Do you think there is the capacity to take into consideration followers' perspectives during a crisis? What do you think this would look like?
-
@RobertAdom-Boateng Do you know of any leaders who have been able to do this? I am wondering if this might be a difficult standard to achieve.
-
@petercarroll Do you think this is more important in a crisis than in "normal" times?
-
@ReginaFlorenziaKarimiNjoroge I think calm leaders are definitely super important!
-
@AnnieSYN(MBA) Do you think these characteristics are also important outside of crises?
-
@PuranGurung Thank you for sharing your insight - its fantastic. Do you think your organization was as prepared as it could have been for the pandemic?
-
Jennifer Chelsea Veres replied to [Learner left FutureLearn]
@AshleyDavis This is great! Did you find your organization embodying these steps throughout the pandemic?
-
@SamukelisiweManyoni Thank you for sharing. Do you think your organisation was as prepared as it could have been?
-
@DESMONDMAOSA Did you find your organisation was prepared for COVID?
-
@RobertAdom-Boateng Thank you for sharing Robert. I think we saw this with a few organizations. Do you know if your organization has taken any steps to prepare for a future pre-crisis stage?
-
@petercarroll I think that this might have been the case with a lot of organizations who were not prepared for the unexpectedness of the pandemic. I think we will see organizations start to take this much more seriously going forward.
-
@sandyerina Some good points here - thinking about the different stages of the crisis, do you think your organization was equipped at each stage to take on COVID 19?
-
@ardhesasuhilman Do you find that ERP to be helpful? Do you think the organization has considered all the necessary factors?
-
@DESMONDMAOSA What kind of emergency response would you provide if you could, in the music industry?
-
@RobertAdom-Boateng What would you have done in that situation? Would you have responded differently?
-
@DylanCuervo I think a lot of universities had this issue!
-
@SophieGoldingay Great that your organization was able to withstand some of these big challenges. With hindsight being 20/20, is there anything you could have done differently?
-
@petercarroll What would you have done in that situation? Would you have responded differently?
-
@SallyMurshed Absolutely agree!
-
@ardhesasuhilman What would you have done in that situation? Would you have responded differently?
-
@HayleyValentine Do you think we are still experiencing this shift in the workforce? Are we still understaffed?
-
@ImmaConcepcionOani Are you thinking of a specific business here?
-
@RyanBall Can you think of a specific industry/business here that had to move online?
-
@JacquelineCorriette Thank you for sharing. Would you have developed the procedure on your own, or would you have made it a collaborative process with your team?
-
@NADINEREFALO What would you have done in that situation? Would you have responded differently?
-
@JudithCOOKE Health really struggled all the way through the pandemic. Is there anything that could have been done better, as we now reflect?
-
@SheldonRamanan What would you have done in that situation? Would you have responded differently?
-
@WarrenBranson I think a lot of organisations really leaned into the delivery services, which has had a really good lasting effect for us to this day, as the demand is there for it now
-
@RyanLeemon What were some specific HR initiatives that you saw in your organsiation?
-
@OkaforChidimma How would you divide the time of study? What would break it up into?
-
@SagarIshpujani Do you think consultancy firms were able to move their operations online? Do you think this hindered their operations, or bolstered them?
-
@JoshF What kind of safety precautions would you have implemented had you been in a position to?
-
@DaveS I absolutely agree with your evaluation here - I think hospitality really did feel it, but I think some businesses were really strong in their contingencies and perhaps even excelled!
-
Jennifer Chelsea Veres replied to Onelia Croke
@OneliaCroke This is a really great example and a really good evaluation - thank you for sharing
