This morning I woke up thinking about the world after #COVID19 when I got this message from my friend @maxwellubah and felt it was #TooGoodNotToShare
Sitting down and thinking about the #COVIDー19 pandemic and the restrictions of movement, here's my #ThreeBigLessons

✅ #Leadership is all about #decisionmaking
The world was slow to react to the virus. #WorldLeaders neglected it & even described it like the common flu. By the time they woke up, it had become widespread with thousands dead.
Most deaths outside Wuhan were completely avoidable

Today, we have shut down our airspace and restricted movements. This same decision could have been taken when the first case of coronavirus incidence happened. Well, as they say, it's never too late to correct a wrong action.
Key lesson here is that #LeadersAreDecisive

They don't put away till tomorrow a decision they are to make today. They might apear unreasonably harsh when they make such decisions, but better be wrong than be sorry.

Situations like these challenge one's faith that if you are not strong in your convictions, you will lay aside your faith. But it is in times like these that we need to hold on to faith and trust that this too shall pass.
Key lesson: #FaithIsOurAnchor in life's storms and helps us maintain our sanity when everything else around us is falling apart.And the true test of having faith is one's response in trying times. So cast not away your confidence during this period.
