Four behaviors that help leaders move forward during a crisis, according to 21,000 leadership assessments: 1. Make decisions with speed over precision. 2. Adapt boldly to get ahead of changing circumstances. 3. Reliably deliver. 4. Take care of your team. s.hbr.org/3bLGhxc

Life goes on at the @BronxZoo! Kudos to the amazing staff for keeping things going during this unprecedented time. #InsideTheZoo
Walked out of my office today to see keepers working with sea lions. Even though we are closed we still provide individual attention to our animals. These coordinated feeds allow us to check the animals and monitor food intake & reinforce the bond between staff & animals

Adjusting to a lack of face-to-face interaction isn't easy. It can mean obstacles to accessing information and, at times, social isolation. Here's how to get through it all. s.hbr.org/2J1XOVH

Bad leaders believe people work for them. Good leaders believe people work with them. Great leaders believe they work for people. Especially in crisis, we depend on servant leaders to put others first. #ThursdayThoughts

Tragic situation in Australia has left us all feeling horrified & powerless. We feel for the people, all the animals & the land itself. @zoos_aquariums of which all our @wcs zoos & aquariums belong has posted the following for those wanting to help
