Leadership during COVID-19 The BMA found in COVID-19: analysing the impact of coronavirus on doctors. that over a quarter of GPs and 33% of hospital doctors who consider themselves to be suffering from depression, anxiety, stress, burnout, emotional distress or another mental health condition, say it is worse during the pandemic than before.

The King’s Fund have witnessed the impact of emotional highs and lows, as leaders’ roles and the nature of their work has changed during the COVID-19 crisis. In Leading in a crisis starts with acknowledging your own feelings they hope to encouraged conversations as where emotions are suppressed and unacknowledged, compassion and understanding cannot flourish.

In Maintaining motivation in uncertain times the King’s Fund advices leaders how they can best support their teams by offering structure and containment, protecting, encouraging, and creating opportunities.
