It is said that you should never take business decisions from a place of emotion but only based on fact. Always check in with an outside benchmark and not an internal emotional one when any business decision are made.
It's ironic that a virus that attacks the respiratory tract is all that it has taken for us all to realize how interconnected and interdependent even fragile we are. Perhaps politicians need lessons in epidemiology from virologists and resuscitation and basic triage lessons from medical professionals and stop must playing war games with mother nature.
Preventing human contact by banning travel, keeping children at home, closing businesses and enforcing social distancing, although well intended to slow the curve, or some might say, kick the can down the road - was tantamount to the closing off our airway and waiting to see how long we could survive. On Tuesday 28th April we slowly started to breath again after holding our breaths at level 4 and moving to level 3.
We will survive this, hopefully with more respect for each other, especially our parents, small businesses and for the fragile environment we have disrespected in the past.
We are in this together, we are all connected and we are all responsible.
Independent business owners who can focus on keep the core business activities going during these restrictions, while still keeping staff employed and look after themselves and there own families - deserve to be called true leaders.
