    Leadership learnings for 2020: Our top posts

    By Nebula | Business Strategy, Digitalisation, Featured, Leadership, Uncategorised | 0 comment | 19 December, 2020 | 0

    “The coronavirus pandemic has placed extraordinary demands on leaders in business and beyond,” writes McKinsey. COVID-19 created fear among employees and other stakeholders and the sheer unpredictability of the crisis made it challenging for executives to respond. “Indeed, the outbreak has the hallmarks of a “landscape scale” crisis: an unexpected event or sequence of events of enormous scale and overwhelming speed, resulting in a high degree of uncertainty that gives rise to disorientation, a feeling of lost control, and strong emotional disturbance.”

    Despite all the chaos, Nebula was able to make some big moves. The company launched OneView, our cloud-based Technology Expense Management platform, on Microsoft’s Azure Marketplace and got the ball rolling on our global expansion plans by targeting new regions across the world.

    This year, our CEO shared his insights around how to best respond to the disruption and detailed how he and the Nebula team have fared throughout 2020. Here’s a look at his top leadership posts.

    #1 News just in: Nebula is going global

    I’ve spoken about a BHAG before. Pronounced “Bee Hag” and short for a “Big Hairy Audacious Goal”, the concept calls on people, and businesses, to build for the long term by working today and tomorrow and the next day with strict and steadfast focus. It’s usually something that seems impossible.

    #2 How to reach your leadership potential

    Over the festive season, I spent a lot of time reading Mark Sandborn’s book The Potential Principle. When I wasn’t reading Sandborn’s theories about reaching your potential, I was cleaning out my garage. While unpacking everything I came across a file from a course I did back in 1991. As part of this course, I had to outline what my ideal lifestyle might look like. And when I read through the file, I was pleased to discover that I have achieved everything I dreamed about all of those years ago.

    #3 Lockdown leadership lessons: Keeping your core values

    They say that a person’s true character is revealed during tough times. That difficult circumstances not only make a person but also expose who someone really is. Over the last few weeks of lockdown, these statements have really resonated with me as everyone scrambles to keep their businesses afloat amid global uncertainty. And, honestly, some of the revelations I’ve seen haven’t always been pretty.

    #4 Why your company culture should be like your immune system

    In recent months we’ve all been exposed to our fair share of medical jargon – from pandemics and PPE to antibodies and active cases. While I’m sure we’re all so tired of hearing about COVID-19 and everything that goes along with it, all of this talk got me thinking about an interview which author and successful businesswoman, Arianna Huffington, gave a few years ago where she described company culture as being the organisation’s immune system.

    #5 Leadership lessons: Finding the golden nugget

    Talking to people in recent weeks, I’ve realised that many of us are experiencing some sort of COVID-19 fatigue. Over the last three or so months, this pandemic has totally transformed every aspect of our lives, making it hard to have a conversation with anyone, in any setting, without the coronavirus coming up. Often, these discussions are quite negative, which is totally understandable. However, if this is the “new reality” that we’re all going to be living for the immediate future, perhaps it’s time to start reframing how we talk about it. How should we perceive what’s happening in the world around us?

    In 2021, we plan to keep the conversation going with our CEO, with him continuing to share his learnings, experiences and insights about all things leadership and business strategy. Want to stay updated on our latest blog posts? Simply subscribe to our monthly newsletter below.
