#COVID19 has shown us that leadership matters! I have been reflecting on effective leadership attributes. Here are my initial thoughts. What do you think?

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="1️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 1" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 1"> Truthfulness — leaders valorize science, evidence and data and these factors drive decisions

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="2️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 2" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 2"> Empathy —  towards the > 1 million people who have died and their families, and all those who have lost their health or livelihoods

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="3️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 3" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 3"> Respect — for health workers and all essential workers who put themselves in harm’s way to serve their communities

2/n

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="4️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 4" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 4"> Humility  — to learn from history and other jurisdictions, and adapt based on lessons learned

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="5️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 5" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 5"> Solidarity — because none of us is safe until all of us are safe; global challenges require multilateral solutions; #COVID19 preys on inequities within & among countries

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="7️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 7" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 7"> Hope  — because we will get through this, together!

4/4 fin

And to this initial list I would add

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="8️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 8" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 8"> Partnership — leaders are allowed to lead by communities. They must be self-aware, non-judgmental, collaborative, engaged. These and other attributes above build trust.

Many thoughtful replies to this list of leadership attributes https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙏" title="Folded hands" aria-label="Emoji: Folded hands"> ! Most common replies: compassion & courage.

Ultimately it’s leadership of young people that matters most.
