Leadership Training Programs are Essential to Save the Future of Startups During Covid-19

If there is one lesson we have all learned over the past 19 months is, we are living in an age of unpredictability – or perhaps how Nassim Talib, author of The Black Swan, would put it,  that we are coming to terms with our inability to actually predict true randomness.

The impacts of COVID-19 – being a “Black Swan,” an unpredictable event that was deemed improbable yet caused massive changes – have ultimately altered our workplace ecosystems.

That is why the word ‘pivot’ became a big part of our vocabulary throughout the pandemic.

If you fail to reinvent and adapt as a startup, you and the organization will stall and ultimately fail.

The effects of the pandemic did not only call for a change in physical practices – from office spaces to virtual meetings – but also in the way our managers lead teams.

Over the past few decades, we have seen precarious periods of crisis in supply, recessions, and financial problems. But right now, with this pandemic, we are experiencing all three simultaneously, with an additional health crisis to top it off. And just like a ship in a storm, it is essential to have good leadership to change the boat’s course towards the apparent horizon.

As Dana Brownlee writes for Forbes, “if this pandemic experience has taught us anything, it’s that leadership matters.”

For the past months, CEOs and experts have tried to develop a user’s manual on how to deal with the pandemic. While there is still no set playbook, one thing is sure; leadership training programs are essential to save the future of startups during COVID-19 especially during peaks of The Great Resignation.

The connection between the founder-CEO, the managers, and employees represents a vital component for the success of any startup.

Startups have tight, ever-evolving communities and teams. Hence, the foundation and development of startups are inevitably connected with leadership.

The truth about leadership is that it is about an individual willing to develop others. And as a fast-growing company, your leaders must be equipped to take your team to the next level.
