#38 - Leadership in Times of Crisis
<p>We've all heard that we are living in "unprecedented times" and "a new normal”. The last time the world faced a pandemic was over a century ago. So, what does it take to actually lead during the COVID-19 global pandemic in 2020? During this episode, we talk with three women who are leading in this time of crisis: Dr. Tener Veenema, an internationally recognized expert in disaster nursing; Grelia Steele, a vibrant emergency manager and Phebean Akinwande, a Nigerian immigrant who for 30 years has cared for the elderly. From their vantage points, they explain what makes the COVID-19 pandemic different than anything they've seen, how they lead, and how the US response to the pandemic is intricately entwined with their daily lives.</p> <p>This episode was produced in partnership with the <a href="https://diversityinnationalsecuritynetwork.com/">Diversity in National Security Network</a>, <a href="https://inkstickmedia.com/">Ink Stick Media</a>, and Columbia University. Production Assistant is Mandy Kwan.
