Topic: Leadership in this time of crisis - The Adventus Process
with Dr. John J. Scherer
Times of crisis are a test of leadership. This is when true leaders are differentiated from people just playing a role.
When COVID-19 kept spreading and the lock-down was already for 8 weeks in Poland, an HR Director in Warsaw asked Dr. John Scherer if he had anything that might be helpful to their 4,000 employees spread across Poland who were sitting at home, depressed and scared about the future.
That request triggered the realization that there were MILLIONS of people all over the world in lock-down having a similar experience. The planning group of around 40 men and women colleagues came from 14 countries, making it a truly global effort. The result is The Adventus Initiative – a framework that helps leaders (and their people) embrace uncertainty and seize the moment to break old patterns and embed new ways of getting things done.
