With extraordinary leaders at the helm, however, an organization can actually become stronger and thrive in spite of the tough times. That should be our goal. So here are some ideas on how to be an extraordinary leader in tough and challenging times.
The extraordinary leader is the one who can keep from being dragged into the fray. They keep their eye on the big picture and act rationally and objectively. They understand that people are heated and are saying things they don’t really mean. The people are firing because they are angry or scared. The extraordinary leader understands this and rises above it. This way, they take fewer arrows and they set the example for their followers.
