For companies across China, managing their operations during the ongoing Covid 19 outbreak has brought on unprecedented challenges. Across industries and functions, executives have struggled to lead their teams in an environment of fear, uncertainty, and confusing or even conflicting information. In such circumstances, leading teams and communicating effectively has been extremely difficult. Just as we seem to be set for a recovery in China, evidence is showing that we may be facing a double dip on a global level as the Corona Virus emerges in overseas markets.


What have we learned over the past 7 weeks and how can we apply these learnings in the coming months of potential uncertainty? Join Sino Associates CCO John Dorris and Sr. Consultant Dr. Laurie Underwood for a succinct recap of the key learning points regarding leadership and communication – as well as ideas and tips for the coming months. This webinar will cover:


  • Real case examples of what not to do
  • Success cases providing a template of what to do
  • Lessons learned from Crisis Management to serve leaders now and going forward
  • Best practices from Global Leadership to help managers to successfully "bridge" with all team members isolated by the health crisis
