How to Lead Through a Crisis with Whynde Kuehn

Whynde Kuehne, founder and managing director of S2E Transformation Inc., teaches us how to lead through a crisis from her firsthand experience. She was having a normal, fabulous day when she receives a call from the big boss saying her boss was out immediately and she's now in charge of a 100-person team. Gulp.

In a matter of days she came up with a way forward for the entire team. Listen in for these key insights and so much more from our powerful conversation.

Why a "bridge" is a powerful metaphor for leadership Technical, consulting, and thought leadership are different than people leadership Acknowledge the different roles you play in people's lives and work Leadership is a responsibility to your employees and their families Work is an ecosystem, not a place
