Friday 10th July 2020

Welcome to DIGEST your weekly leadership and innovation update.

This week has seen CoVID number of infections rising again in Australia causing cities to go back into lock down, in contrast to the US and Europe where the numbers continue to be high and economies are keen to reopen.

The burden on business and leadership is significant as we all struggle to balance the business versus the societal costs.

This week we have a number of useful articles focused on how to lead, how to innovate and how to recover.

Each week we send out leadership and innovation articles that we have curated and summarised from all over the world, in this update there are five recent articles on leadership with some very practical tips and advice.

If you enjoyed this selection please look at the Innovation-Thinking website where you can review previous articles and newsletters as well as search on topics, categories or themes.

I hope that you found this interesting and useful, please feel free to share. If this was forwarded on to you by someone else, then please subscribe.
