Teams Under Pressure: Maintaining High Performance During Times of Crisis

Even in the best of times, the challenge to build high-performance teams can be daunting, but managing in a crisis can make us feel like the ground is shifting beneath us. Leaders must help their teams to create a culture of confidence, quick collaboration, and accelerated innovation. The difference between leaders that win and leaders that lose is driven by the way they handle crisis, pressure, and the inevitable event of failure.
