Media headlines showing issues of sustainability amid the economic crises

How are leaders and their organisations experiencing the economic crisis?

  • What is really going on in organisations?
  • What are the economic realities?
  • How are leaders making a difference?

In late September 2008, the unthinkable became a reality with the announcement of the collapse of Lehman Brothers. Few people anticipated the scale and reach of what happened next.

Kevin Power and Andrew Day began researching in December 2008 into how leaders and their organisations have been affected by the economic crisis and how they are responding.

A first article showing their early findings, was published in the 2009 edition of Converse.

Their follow-up article takes a more in depth view, with stories of how some organisations are responding through the continued turbulence and uncertainty.
