Abstract
Managing uncertainty is a critical leadership capability. Keeping the COVID-19 pandemic as the background, we conducted a panel discussion with senior corporate leaders to understand how they had approached challenging situations in the past, managed uncertainties, and how these learnings have contributed to their development as leaders. We draw upon the extant literature on leadership under uncertainty and leader development to frame our study. The rich narratives of the panellists provide theoretical insights and significant lessons for managers and emerging leaders.
期刊介绍:
IIMB Management Review (IMR) is a quarterly journal brought out by the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. Addressed to management practitioners, researchers and academics, IMR aims to engage rigorously with practices, concepts and ideas in the field of management, with an emphasis on providing managerial insights, in a reader friendly format. To this end IMR invites manuscripts that provide novel managerial insights in any of the core business functions. The manuscript should be rigorous, that is, the findings should be supported by either empirical data or a well-justified theoretical model, and well written. While these two requirements are necessary for acceptance, they do not guarantee acceptance. The sole criterion for publication is contribution to the extant management literature.Although all manuscripts are welcome, our special emphasis is on papers that focus on emerging economies throughout the world. Such papers may either improve our understanding of markets in such economies through novel analyses or build models by taking into account the special characteristics of such economies to provide guidance to managers.
