How to be a leader

 

April/May 2020 Dear Entrepreneur, How quickly everything changed. In January, I flew to Atlanta to meet Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and his business partner Dany Garcia for our April cover story. Life was normal: airports, hotels, handshakes. But just as we, Entrepreneur, sent that issue to the printer, coronavirus took over the world. We had no time to react. The only thing we could change was the big headline on the cover. It used to say something else. We scrapped it, and wrote this instead: MAKE A NEW PLAN You know what, though? Those four words define entrepreneurship, in good times and bad. Entrepreneurs intuitively understand that things will go wrong, that what works today will not work tomorrow, and that (as I recently wrote) setbacks make us stronger. We are uniquely suited for this crisis—because we know how to face the unknown, and how to create opportunity in crisis. So that's what we'll all do. The world needs us now. Let's give them a new plan. Jason Feifer, Entrepreneur Editor in Chief @heyfeifer heyfeifer
