Leadership in a crisis

Jan 22, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

Kaieteur News – I don’t agree with all that Prime Minister Mia Mottley did, have done, presently is doing, or will do in Barbados, however, I am convinced that she has shown the Caribbean that she is a leader who could ‘work it’ in the midst of many crises (not so in Guyana).
If you are a parliamentary leader, a business leader, an NGO or a spiritual leader read the ‘tea leaves’ on what the Honourable Mia Mottley did. Here are a few critical moments when managing during a crisis.
The Prime Minister dropped several clues in past speeches about future plans. She announced a snap election during the Christmas holidays, announcing elections in the middle of a pandemic, announcing elections in the midst of an economic downturn, while facing the threat of low voter turnout, and political opposition and public cries on every side regarding the timing of a snap election. She (let me say it again-she) demolished the opposition –again. What can we learn from Prime Minister Mia Mottley’s experience as leaders (present or aspiring). Here are a few suggestions:
1. Put the vision before the people
2. Take ownership
3. Be a person of character
4. Stay focused – never mind the criticism
5. Catch the Opposition with their pants down– unprepared
Cordially
Denise Murray
