In a recent Michigan Ross Executive Education webinar, Michigan Ross professor and Sanger Research Lab member Dr. Mike Barger hosted a panel discussion with former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Michigan Ross Associate Dean Dr. S. Sriram on how leaders can stay effective during times of disruption.
Together, they shared three essential strategies: maintain a clear vision to inspire confidence, communicate openly to build trust, and prioritize personal sustainability to avoid burnout. These approaches offer a steady foundation for leaders navigating complexity and change.
