Can you imagine how overwhelmed the people who made the first COVID guidelines were?
Where was the instruction manual for dealing with a global pandemic?
Everyone can critique a first draft but it takes real leadership to stare into the abyss, take into account the overwhelming options, and lay down a plan.
Why is this a leadership quality?
Because when everyone is lost and no one knows which way to go progress requires someone to step up and say ‘that way!’
The metaphorical exclamation and point is arguably the most leadership thing you can do!
Those who want a path but can’t see a path will naturally follow those who create the path.
