The past years have put global leaders in different zones. Some were placed in vulnerable spots while others thrived and developed better skills. In this episode, we learn about why leaders need to be omnipresent with Zahrina Robertson.
The best skills that leaders probably learned in times of global crisis are empathy and agility. Empathy was showcased in recognising and understanding how others are feeling. While agility is emphasized through quick decisions and actions that bring a positive impact on other people’s lives.
With these two skills combined, leaders learned how to be more human and omnipresent. Also, it helped us acknowledge opportunities to be of service in our own community and with people distinct from us.
Omnipresence in leadership has strengthened our connections with other humans and emphasized what each one of us are capable of to ensure our journey through life is worthwhile despite all the crisis we go through.
