The quote captures it succinctly. It’s easy to be a leader when things are going well. The real test of leadership comes during a crisis. And so, here we are at the beginning of 2020 facing what will hopefully be the worst crisis of our times—COVID-19.
Arguably, a pandemic is worse than war, storm, civil upheaval, or natural disaster; COVID-19 is a pandemic that has swept the globe in a frighteningly short amount of time, with a tremendous fatality rate, and which impacts all nations, all peoples, from every walk of life, equally.
This is particular true in certain segments of the economy, especially those that deal directly with human and animal health with all the numerous bio-security implications.
Alltech is one of the largest feed producers in the world and covers a wide variety of species including swine, poultry, ruminants, equine and pet food and aquafeed. The company is hue with thousands of employees distributed across many countries. Its success depends upon strong leadership and effective communication.
Every year, Alltech welcomes the world to Kentucky (the home of its headquarters) to attend the AllTech One conference, where technical presentations share the very latest in research and developments. This May 2020, for the first time, this will be held as a virtual conference with people attending online.

Dr Mark Lyons explores how a leader can shape a culture of resilience that empowers a company’s team, even during times of turmoil.
