On the front lines of leadership

Unprecedented times call for unprecedented leadership, begins the description at Harvard Business School’s COVID-19 Business Impact Center, introducing a case study we’d like to draw your attention to.

Nowhere is the need for leadership more urgent or more critical than on the front lines of COVID-19.

Enter Harvard Business School Professor Linda Hill, a world-renowned researcher on leadership, globalization, and innovation, and Dr. Rakesh Suri, a world-renowned cardiac surgeon and CEO of Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, which has also been the subject of Professor Hill’s research.

Put the two together, and you have one incredible story of how theory meets practice as a global organization takes aim at navigating through the fog of a pandemic while their leadership skills are tested in ways they never imagined.

Their discussion also brings to life Professor Hill’s framework for leadership from her widely acclaimed management classic, Being the Boss: The 3 Imperatives for Becoming a Great Leader:  Managing yourself, managing your network, and managing your team.

Professor Hill was recently our special guest at a webinar we know you’ll want to watch! Check out her case study here, and sign up today for access to the full webinar replay and takeaways.
