Leadership Interventions in Time of Crisis
by Alan McFarlane, Lead Coach, Timoney Leadership Institute
Andreas von der Heydt, Director of Talent Acquisition Amazon, recently published an article on Linked-In outlining his Top-Ten leadership interventions in time of crisis. In my response to it, I added a further dimension that builds on his overview – help leaders be aware how their fundamental human characteristics can either help or hinder them in translating his suggestions into consistent and effective practice.

The world is full of noise. Few disciplines are as exposed to noise as ours; everything that has to do with people at work.
We strongly recommend the book “Noise”, written by Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony, and Cass R. Sunstein. These three give us insight into what noise is, how detrimental it can be for us, why we are so affected by it, and what we can do to make better decisions. They have included many relevant examples related to strategic HR, but in so doing also expose that they lack an updated understanding of fundamental human drivers. Maybe to be included in the next book?
Daniel Kahneman is the psychologist who received the “Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences” in 2002, and impressed us with the book “Thinking, Fast and Slow” 10 years ago.
Happy reading!
