During this time of sanitizing wipes, hands made raw from washing, and lighting many a candle, let’s take a page out of the playbook of a global team our firm has worked with for many a moon. Their success is built on a myriad of strengths which include the ability to navigate chaos with courage and wisdom, using it as a catalyst for transformation.

Here are some of the things they do – not perfectly – but consistently enough when they sail seas that are disruptive:

• They respond calmly to uncertainty, leaning into the wind.
• They make tough decisions to protect their most important assets.
• They move toward terra firma, moment by moment, with perseverance.
• They lean on each other and work in unison.
• They serve a higher purpose.
• They create safe harbors of sanity through communication and collaboration.
• They trust each other because they behave in trustworthy ways.
