Glad to see that the Academy of Management insights are recognizing our work again. Unfortunately, with everything going on in the world, I fear that there are some insights that can be relevant for today, too.

#Leadership Lessons for the Zombie Apocalypse https://lnkd.in/g2kX3nsp In the event of a zombie plague, survival would be a daily struggle. Resources would be scarce, with the threat of attack omnipresent. Bands of disparate survivors probably would not get along, and their #leaders probably would not have all the answers. This scenario, inspired by countless film interpretations and most recently, the television series The Walking Dead, can provide real-life lessons on how to effectively manage groups working amid a doomsday situation, according to an Academy of Management Perspectives article. “Police are trained for terrorist attacks. Emergency responders are trained for fires and floods. But we don’t know how people would react in a total apocalypse. By going outside the box we are forcing #creativity,” explained Markus Hällgren of Umeå University. Hällgren and coauthor David Buchanan of Cranfield School of Management analyzed the long-running TV series, based on the graphic novels by Robert Kirkman. Hällgren and Buchanan said their findings have implications for policies and practices in doomsday scenarios.
