Episode #16 - How to be a Great Leader and Take Care of Yourself Through a Crisis

Welcome to IBM’s Keep It Simple (KIS) Technology Podcast hosted by Thomas F. Anglero, Nordic Dir. of Innovation for IBM. In this episode, Intek Engineering (www.Intek.no) CEO, Anita Hagar, tells how she has led her colleagues, her customers, and herself throughout the Covid-19 period. Anita explains that to be a great leader you must be able to step away from the business in a time of crisis to gather your thoughts and focus on the situation.  She gives advice on what to do, how to do it, and most importantly, how to take care-of-yourself. Listen to Anita's advice on how to deal with extraordinary situations like the personal grief of letting go of colleagues, what happens when you as a leader feel it all is too much, and how to find a quiet place for yourself to be the great leader you are meant to be.  Anita gives clear advice based on her proven methods and success as Intek.  You will enjoy her storytelling!
