The Show Must Go On
The Art of Leading Through a Crisis
There is no time when leadership is more important than during a crisis, but you can’t wait until the crisis occurs before developing your leadership skills. The COVID-19 pandemic that rocked the world in 2020 tested leaders to an unprecedented level. For Les M. Goldberg, founder of Entertainment Technology Partners, surviving the crisis was never in question.
Even though every day brought new challenges, Goldberg knew his company would emerge from the pandemic stronger, smarter, and more innovative than ever—and it did. But the key to Goldberg’s strength as a leader today is the fact that he has been honing his leadership skills since he started his company as a teenager.
No two crises are exactly alike, and no two responses will be either. In The Show Must Go On: The Art of Leading Through a Crisis, Goldberg takes the reader through the essential elements of successful crisis leadership and shows how the strategies and tactics that have worked in his company can be applied to any business. He also shares the stories of legendary contemporary and historical leaders who have become crisis management role models.
Woven throughout this quintessential crisis leadership guide is Goldberg’s personal philosophy that neither failure nor quitting are options because The Show Must Go On.
