Chapter 6 in Leadership After COVID-19, 2022, pp 99-114 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter suggests that we can’t yet teach post-pandemic leadership practice. The new normal is only just emerging alongside the global vaccine rollout: the framework within which leaders will operate is not yet knowable, how they need to practice is unknowable. But in this moment of hiatus, this global inflection point, we must help leaders to embrace leadership principles: self-evident, self-validating laws that govern how leaders should lead: be authentic, have integrity, behave with emotional intelligence. When leaders understand and embrace these principles before they start to practice within the emerging new normal, they will be ready to lead transformationally—which in a world where every industry, every activity, every endeavour in which we are engaged must change if it is to survive, is surely something towards which we should aim. In a volatile world, this is how to aim for a future in which leaders take us beyond striving towards thriving.
