Lincoln focused on overcoming unprecedented challenges faced by business leaders in the fight for survival and growth during COVID-19. He wrote, “It is important that business leaders are transparent yet supportive, trusting, flexible, and optimistic, and empower teams to do their best work autonomously. Create a sounding board with your teams and clients, and ensure that the trust is built further.” “As a leader, you are sometimes your best motivator. Doing things for others is an adrenaline rush we should always work with. Remain positive. We must remain firm in our strategy and show confidence in our country, its inhabitants and investors and in our resilience.” “If there’s one most important lesson this pandemic has taught us, it’s to seize the opportunities presented to us and use the new learnings to adapt to the new normal. We cannot afford to miss tapping all these opportunities to make ourselves a more humane, sensitive, and kinder society.”
