You cannot stop the waves but you can learn to surf. <\/em><\/p>\n

Ever since the world was gripped by the Covid-19 crisis, we are all very aware that we live in a VUCA-world: unpredictable, uncertain, complex and unclear. We have known this in theory for the last 5 years, but now it has really hit us.<\/p>\n

The shock from the beginning has already subsided, but the question now is how we as companies, organisations and nations deal with this new reality. And how do we give leadership in the 4 phases of the crisis.<\/p>\n

In the first blog talked in-depth about the 4 phases, here are the 4 phases again:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Surviving<\/li>\n
  2. Coping<\/li>\n
  3. Restoring<\/li>\n
  4. Transforming<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now we want to highlight the role of the leaders in all four phases.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
