Covid-19 Will Accelerate A ‘new Normal’: Continuous Adaptation
Ihave been pondering how long the COVID-19 disruption of how we live and how we work will last. When can we return to our “normal”? The history of pandemics and the historical track record of our being able to develop and deploy effective vaccines does not give me any confidence that I will return to “normal” anytime soon.
That has led me to seek out thought leaders from various domains and to talk with some thoughtful senior business leaders that I know. That research and those discussions have been enlightening, because what has become clear to me is that my mental model of returning to the “normal” is limiting my ability to think deeply about how my personal life and my work life will likely change and how I will need to adapt.
