This pandemic has created unprecedented trauma around the world. The economic fallout will be equally painful for many. It can be tempting to focus on the short term of crisis management. But when we emerge from this unfolding tragedy, it will be the long-term thinkers who not only survive but thrive. If your organization is well-capitalized and visionary enough to hire for lasting greatness, now is the time. Ask your top leaders who they would have liked to have hired over the past three to five years and then check in with those people. Set up a task force to recruit new talent. Interview and check references virtually with the same rigor you would in person. Motivate your top candidates by offering them not just pay but also autonomy, mastery and purpose. Finally, carefully consider how you can develop the best employees you already have.
