Woman of the Week ~ Special Series

This is a historic time in our lives both professionally and personally.  At Executive Elements, we like to share, support and encourage other women.

We asked: “What is the leadership lesson that you are taking away from this moment in time?”

Jordyn Kemats: I’ve learned 2 key lessons during this crisis about leadership and my role:

1~ Check in on your people and teammates as often as possible. It can be a quick text, instant message, or a phone call touch base to see how they are doing, feeling, and to allow them to express their thoughts, fears, emotions, and just the ‘stuff of life’ right now. Communication is key even at a distance. We are all human and experiencing many of the same thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Sharing your own vulnerability is critical…we are all human and in the same boat.
2~ Be willing to do any job or task that needs to be done. Look for opportunities to jump in, help, and take ownership of projects and tasks. The amount of work that needs to be accomplished to develop alternative delivery models, service customers in every channel, and help small businesses make it through this challenge takes all hands on deck. Use both hands and raise them often.
