Managers and human resources departments across the nation are swamped as organizations and businesses are beginning to reopen in phases as we enter our new norm. Even though we are still very much in a crisis, we (slowly, but surely) must begin to move forward. 
When an unexpected crisis hits, it can take months for a business to reset and recover. When the crisis is ongoing and ever-changing, like the current pandemic we’re facing, it can take even longer.
When faced with a crisis, leaders must be able to remain calm, while adapting to unfamiliar circumstances. They may find themselves under pressure to make decisions quickly with limited or rapidly changing information. In short, it can be overwhelming.
As we navigate through life in its current state, we must remain adaptable. Adaptability is a key trait in conquering the fear of the unknown and it is also a skill that is hard sought-after in leadership roles. Employers see this as a desirable skill because adaptable people are more communicative, more motivated, and less discouraged when faced with situations that require change. These leaders can assess environments and processes and then communicate, motivate, and lead their team to the best possible outcome for their situation. 
The Coronavirus and related social distancing practices and regulations have made working from home the new normal for many employees. While there are plenty of advantages to working from home, it can also be challenging to adapt to the lack of personal interaction, create boundaries between work and home life, and stay focused amidst a plethora of distractions. 
How you prepare now will impact the future because when the dust settles, we want you to be prepared for the change that is on its way.
