Leaders, This is how you can aid your teams at this crisis time?

The true test of leadership does not take place when everything is smooth sailing. Rather, leadership is generally tested during a crisis. The way a leader behaves and functions during a crisis will establish their credentials as a reliable leader or a mediocre one.

Our inclination to panic in the face of uncertainty or the unpredictable is heightened when we face a crisis. 

Because of this, we might not be effective to communicate with others accordingly, and this can cause more panic and newer problems.

In the time of crises, our productivity goes down and creativity nosedives to bottom grade. 

There is no time for Leaders, who are frantic and disorganized. Without self-control, it is easy for Leaders to fall into the grip of panic and be at the mercy of their feelings.
