Kiran Bedi, Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry has asked the management students to look into how Covid-19 as a challenge was handled across States, nationwide and internationally, which has revealed the leadership capabilities of leaders across nations. Management schools should teach students how to cope with uncertainty and make them aware that change is inevitable and growth is optional.
She was addressing a Leadership Talk Session organised by XLRI on the topic “Creative Leadership — Collaborative Governance” on virtual mode.
“The biggest challenge, which happened to be Covid, was dealt with the world over and why Indian leaders emerge as head and shoulders above many others. The management students of the day must understand how Covid-19 as a challenge was handled by Human Resource Management in organisations. It’s a class case study by itself in risk management, planning, and resource deployment,” she said.
