Chapter 11 in Leadership After COVID-19, 2022, pp 187-202 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter reviews the need for ongoing expansion of and reflection on one’s internal locus of control as a personal skill toward perseverance and creative reinvention in challenging times. Using the COVID-19 global pandemic, as well as previous global challenges as instigators, the chapter will discuss some critical tools for self-preservation, sustainable growth, and overall excellence in personal and professional settings. The chapter first discusses the need for positive leadership as a necessary mode of operation in a post-COVID world, with an emphasis on awakened leadership. In extension to setting this stage, the chapter discusses the positive practice of COURAGE, which alludes to an understanding of having a Choice, nurturing an Open mind, keeping aware of the Usefulness of every experience, engaging in regular Reality-checks, positivizing one’s Attitude, honing the inner-Genius (creative skills), and continuing to Educate oneself.
