Coaching Emerging Leaders During COVID-19

The Prime Minister has recently made an announcement about the process of "re-opening" the Australian economy, and a critical part of that being retraining and investment in skills development. Chris Gardner has also touched on the importance of HR in a crisis. This gave us reason to ask whether, even though some employers are going to need to be focussed on simply surviving, this might be a perfect opportunity to identify and target development of your emerging talent?

Like the "battlefield promotions" of past times, if you look to the longer term, the complex challenges coming out of COVID-19 could provide a unique chance to identify and accelerate your core group of emerging leaders so they're ready to help take your organisation forward once the economy re-opens.
