Here We Go Again: Leading In Tough Times
This article—recently updated by Lee J. Colan—was first published in response to the 2001 recession. However, Colan’s observations on typical human responses to crisis vs. best-practice responses to crisis are as true and revealing now as they were in 2001. He invites his readers to take comfort in the thought that “no trend goes on forever. … This truism prevents complacency during good times and instills hope during tough times,” he says. He hopes that readers will find his pointers “timely and timeless.”
