Leading employees at any time can be a difficult task. However, during a particularly challenging time such as the current pandemic, leaders need to take a look at their style and adjust how they are interacting with their employees. The current world of work is demanding a review of how employees are reacting to working differently. A pandemic challenges managers to listen to what employees want and act accordingly.
