Different circumstances call for different leadership styles. In the turbulent, bewildering and ambiguous world of COVID-19, clear, confident, decisive and military-style leadership was the right and necessary response to navigate uncharted waters.

We need an approach that ensures we actually live up to the slogan “we are all in this together”, with more than just a few selected participants at the table and, which builds on all we have learned to date.
