Dr. Neha Sangwan, physician, communication expert, and author sits down with BPL President David Leonard to talk about how to adapt work in the pandemic and leverage stress energy to make positive change. As the institutions, norms and rules that once held the fabric of our society together dissolve, the businesses that will thrive now are the ones that adjust most quickly to our new reality. One of the biggest predictors of success will be the quality of leadership in your organization. Dr. Sangwan addresses building trust within and across teams, learning to navigate and override strong emotions within the team, and how to help them pivot and innovate to meet the needs of our ever-changing world. Think of it as upgrading your human software to not only meet the challenges of a complex world, but also excel under pressure!
