In a time of crisis, it’s not on the chief executive to do it all. Today, it is imperative that we look to the partnership between the chief executive and the board.

- Humility: Understanding that one’s knowledge is not the complete and relying on others is critical
- Adaptively planning: Continuity planning with the immediate and longer view
