While death and infection rates in Europe seem to be declining, policymakers and managers are putting in place recovery efforts. To succeed in bringing public health and socio-economic interests together, strong and sustainable leadership is needed. Against that background, the landmark report “Leadership in Times of Coronavirus” by CEC European Managers gives a comprehensive overview on the pandemic, its effects, as well as concrete measures taken by European governments and business managers.

The current crisis is in many ways a convergence of various crisis. It is a test for the capacity of our health systems, but also for the resilience of business models. Without a sound assessment, clear criteria and public debate, the risk is high that we take short-sighted decisions for generations to come. We have to draw the bigger picture.

The CEC Report “Leadership in Times of Coronavirus” brings together structured European-level information, the results of a survey among 700 European managers, experiences from CEC member organisations, intermediate conclusions, as well as an outlook on the next steps to take in Europe.
