What are the best ways to motivate employees during a crisis?
It's not just about being clear in your goals in a crisis. Good decision making requires focusing on both the speed and quality of your decision making. In a crisis, there is usually a higher premium on speed as you likely will need to make many decisions based on imperfect information. The art is figuring out how to not abandon quality and/or understanding which are the highest leverage decisions where you should slow things down a bit to increase the likelihood of a quality decision.
