Leadership During Covid-19: New Report on Trends and Outcomes from DRI International and Harvard National Preparedness Leadership Initiative
Disaster Recovery Institute International (DRI), the leading nonprofit in business continuity and resilience training, has joined with Harvard’s National Preparedness Leadership Initiative (NPLI) to develop a new report, “Covid-19: An Analysis of Leadership Styles and Outcomes.” This research uses the coronavirus pandemic to inform future preparedness and response efforts.
“For the resilience community and executive leadership across all industries, the pandemic has become the seminal challenge of their careers,” said Chloe Demrovsky, President and CEO of DRI International. “This report offers an insightful look at the extraordinary responses by leaders in the public and private sectors, and will provide a roadmap for navigating the next crisis, whatever form it may take.”
Researchers interviewed executives from a variety of industries – including aviation, energy, education, healthcare, manufacturing, engineering, technology and retail – to gain understanding of their “meta-leadership” capabilities, a holistic view leaders take on when managing complex crisis situations.
“We were delighted with the contributions from all participants – impressing the interview team with their frankness about things that had happened,” said Lyndon Bird, DRI Chief Knowledge Officer. “All the interviewees agreed that the process had added value to their understanding of the most challenging period of their professional lives. The interview team certainly learned a lot, some which surprised us and much which really inspired us.”
