| When you’re in the midst of a crisis, it can be hard to think past your short-term response. But, as a leader, your primary focus needs to be on the long term. After all, it’s your job to lead your people into the best possible future. To be able to do that, you need to delegate. Trust your people to handle the immediate response, and provide them with support and guidance to make tough decisions. Your time should be dedicated to planning for the future. You need to anticipate the obstacles that will arise in the next weeks, months, and even years, and set a course for your organization accordingly. If you can focus on what lies ahead, rather than what’s happening now, you’re more likely to emerge from the crisis stronger than before. |

Jemmy Young 2001624651 Name: Jemmy Young, NIM: 2001624651 when we are in a situation that makes us very uncomfortable such as stress and fatigue then we will tend to respond to people briefly and respond to something just for now. doing things like this might fix and end people's questions, but only briefly. in the long run this can cause harm in the future because the people we respond to may lack information so making mistakes that ultimately also involve us.

Melyana Pangestu Melyana Pangestu / 2001553112 Every business must have a plan for the future and so should its leader.

Bayu Pratama Bayu Pratama - 2001624336. Dengan adanya pandemi covid 19, menurut saya kedepannya tiap organisasi akan lebih memerhatikan risk management. Karena situasi ini memiliki minim sekali informasi terhadap covid, sedangkan virus tersebut terus bermutasi, dan tidak ada yang tahu kapan akan berakhir. Organisasi juga memerlukan backup plan tidak hanya dalam situasi pandemi, namun hal lain seperti bencana yang dapat mengganggu aktivitas.

Sri Wulan (2001548535) True, that long-term decision or planning is the most important. Because our long term is determined by what we do now, and now is determined by our previous planning. If our planning is very mature, there will be a possibility of good impact and minimize the bad risks that may occur

Havez All Ayyas (Havez All Ayyas - 2201819085) I agree with the article above, which when in the midst of a crisis a leader is needed, a leader is needed not only to respond to the short term but for the long term to get to the best possible future. A leader can organize his employees by trusting them (employees) with job descriptions that have been shared, so that the leader can focus on facing problems or crises in the future more calmly and strongly.

Erica Lauren (Erica Lauren - 2201781722) I agree with this article. Through this, a leader should get used to thinking for the future, imagine what’s going to happen in the future, also how to deal with it. Having a long-term plan is a crucial thing for a leader. With a long-term plan, will make a company last longer also go along with any threats. Besides that, trust is an important thing in a team. A leader should have trust in all of the people on their team. Believe in them that they have the capability to do a work that has been delegated. From this trust, encourage them to feel confident with their skills. Lastly, very important for a leader to give support and direction, not leaving them just that. Thus, the team will able to feel a sense of leadership from their leader.

Clavenia Santosa - 2201773696 The actions of executives and their teams, in the midst of this corona virus crisis, will significantly determine their organizations’ future fate. That’s why, leaders need to focus on what is likely to come next and readying to meet it. That means seeing beyond the immediate to anticipate the next three, four, or five obstacles. Because if we as a leader, can focus on what lies ahead, rather than what’s happening now, we’re more likely to emerge from the crisis stronger than before.

Alif Millen'ga - 2201795753 Every good leader must direct the whole team to do their best and achieve goals. For that a leader really needs to have a good focus. Both team focus and personal focus. There must be a priority which is a common goal so that the team does not lose direction.
-
Chevy Abdullah - 2201787373 In my opinion, from this article the position of a leader is very much needed. Because if leaders only focus on the long term and give authority to their employees to make decisions in the present, it is very difficult if there is no supervision from the leader. Therefore, the role of a leader is needed not only for the long term, but also to supervise employees with decisions taken in the short term.

Meilinda - 2201758676 berdasarkan artikel tersebut bahwa untuk menjadi seorang pemimpin yang baik harus fokus pada apa yang akan terjadi kedepannya dibandingkan dengan memikirkan apa yang akan terjadi sekarang. Mengapa? karena itu akan memudahkan suatu organisasi untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan yang akan terjadi. seorang pemimpin juga harus membangun hubungan yang baik dengan bawahannya seperti memberi dukungan, himbauan serta kepercayaan kepada bawahannya dalam mengerjakan apapun karena bawahan akan menjadikan pemimpin sebagai acuan dalam bekerja.

Veronica Halim- 2201804026 Dari artikel ini saya stuju bahwa untuk menjadi pemimpin kita harus berfikir jangka panjang dan fokus. apabila kita menjadi seorang namun masih berfikir jangka pendek bagaimana dengan orang orang yang kita pimpin, kita harus memberikan contoh yang baik. sebagai pemimpin memang harus berfikir kedepan apa yang akan terjadi dan belajar dari kesalahan sebelumnya serta terus memperbaikinya.
-
Veronica Halim- 2201804026 saya setuju dengan artikel ini, bahwa untuk menjadi pemimpin kita harus memiliki tujuan jelas dan berfikir secara jangka panjang, tidak berfikir jangka pendek terus. dan harus menyadari bahwa orang orang yang kita pimpin pastinya akan melihat apa yang kita lakukan. sehingga jangan memberikan contoh yang tidak baik, melainkan menuntun mereka agar mencapai tujuan bersama.
-
Zakiyah Balqis Alifah - 2440072244 Saya sangat setuju dengan artikel diatas, karena bawahan yang sukses pasti ada campur tangan pemimpinnya, jika pemimpin salah mengambil langkah maka akan berujung ke bawahan juga, maka dari itu peran pemimpin yang penting ini menjadi tanggung jawab yang sangat berat, dari artikel di atas sebagai seorang pemimpin harus mempunyai pikiran jangka panjang yang baik untuk mencapai masa depan perusahaan yang "cerah". Terlebih seorang pemimpin harus dapat berinteraksi dengan baik kepada bawahannya untuk membangun loyalitas kepada perusahaannya agar terus menjadi sebuah kesatuan yang kuat untuk menjalani "batu kerikil" di masa yang akan datang.
