Don&#8217;t always look to rely on\/blame others (i.e. governments) &#8211; this should just be seen as a source of guidance and validation that you&#8217;re on the right track! The last 6 or so months have radically impacted the way we live and work. Reality is that we are really only in the early stages of Covid-19. Recent news in the UK is that Government\/scientists are predicting 3 times more than the current 45,000 Covid related deaths in the coming months. More lock-downs will come so businesses need to develop an agile workforce and working practices and look to new ways and opportunities for their market offering(s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no denying that these are challenging times for business but they also offer a real opportunity for true leaders to shine and bring real value, purpose and support to those around them.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/hashtag\/?keywords=management&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A6690895900803399680\">#management<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/hashtag\/?keywords=innovation&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A6690895900803399680\">#innovation<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/hashtag\/?keywords=yourjourneyahead&amp;highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A6690895900803399680\">#yourjourneyahead<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rachel Cutler theGrogroup Ltd.&nbsp;recently wrote: \u2018We are not returning to what we know; we are departing from what we knew.
