2. Acknowledge
The Tough
Times
Managing other employees can be
really difficult right now. Even
though we may be leaders in an
organization, we are not immune
from feeling stressed and anxious.
The additional managerial
responsibilities we have can
definitely exacerbate tensions, I’ve
found.

3. Be Transparent
It is understandable for organizational
leaders to devote a lot of time to discuss
with each other how to adapt to the rapid
and extreme changes in the workplace
caused by the pandemic. However, failing
to communicate with employees and/or
withholding salient information from
them can destroy company morale.
Management should be providing
accurate information in a timely manner..Sandra Charton | SandraCharton.com

4. Be Wary of
Disclosing All
Information
Being open and transparent does not
mean that leaders need to disclose every
piece of information they receive.
Organizations need to be cognizant of
privacy issues and other legal and practical
concerns. Distinguishing between the
types of information that should be
disclosed and the types that should not be
disclosed can help contain things during a
crisis.

5. Stay
Organized
Chaos does not help a crisis.
Managers should try to be as
organized as possible so that the
work environment is calm and
controlled.Sandra Charton | SandraCharton.com
