Nancy J. Adler

International Business Review, 2025, vol. 34, issue 1

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent global economic meltdown severely challenged the world. What leadership lessons did we learn? What should we have learned? As global managers and international human-resource-management thought leaders, have we undervalued the role of humility? Have we overemphasized leaders’ impact while markedly underestimating the often-decisive influence of context? Have we embraced convenient illusions and rejected inconvenient truths?
