Julia Middleton’s Thoughts on Leadership blog is a go to source for thought provoking ideas on leadership – particularly in the context of today’s crazy environment. I read her blog on a regular basis and found this one on crisis management particularly interesting. Middleton states:
I was always taught to keep my eyes on the hills and my feet on the ground. In a crisis, too many leaders do neither, and some only keep their feet on the ground…but they take their eyes off the hills. Right now I appreciate that keeping your feet on the ground is essential, and it’s hard work. I’m just urging you to look up once in a while.
