Leigh Morgan Interview: Management Rules of Thumb for Navigating Crises
“I encourage you to constantly be testing and practicing and piloting your adaptations. That should be an ethos and a part of your culture all the time but is especially important right now [during the Covid-19 crisis]. In this context, you’re just going to try things that you otherwise would not be so willing to innovate and adapt — be flexible.” — Leigh Morgan, Chief Operations & Strategy Officer, Nia Tero
