As a member of the Business Journals Leadership Trust, Ms. Jones was asked to share some of the lessons she has learned during the COVID-19 pandemic about leading a team through a crisis. Her words of experience and leadership can be found as part of the article, “16 Important Leadership Lessons for Navigating Your Business Through a Crisis”.
Strive for structure
It is helpful to provide even more structure to the day and our projects to keep our team on task and striving to achieve what we can, even with new obstacles. I do more check-ins on project status and give more praise for achieving even modest goals under the circumstances. And I provide regular reassurance about the health and survival of the business and the security of my team’s jobs. – Linley Jones, The Linley Jones Firm P.C
