Confronting COVID-19
A must read for all leaders and decision-makers in the public, private and community sectors to understand not just the present but the shared future in a ‘post-Covid’ world.
Introduction to Confronting COVID-19:
A Strategic Playbook for Leaders and Decision Makers
COVID-19 is the most challenging crisis the world has faced for almost a century. As a truly global pandemic, there is not a single country on earth – or even a single person – immune to the economic, political and social impact of the devastating virus.
This book analyses the coronavirus crisis in unparalleled depth.
The author begins in section one by framing the COVID-19 pandemic by categorically identifying variables and factors central to understanding how COVID-19 has panned out. This is followed in section two with an examination of the pandemic in the realms of politics, public health and economics.
Section three comprises in-depth country case studies, complete with scenario mapping and a formulation of recommendations, before section four looks beyond the immediate imperatives of the ongoing pandemic and pictures our shared future in a ‘post-Covid’ world.
Confronting COVID-19’s combination of rigorous, evidence-based analyses, projections and actionable recommendations makes this a must-read book for all leaders and decision makers in public, private and community sectors. Most of all, the ideas presented within these pages command the urgent attention of those within the international policy-making community.
In February and March 2021, Confronting Covid-19: A Strategic Playbook for Leaders and Decision Makers made to the #1 best-seller on Amazon, twice!

“Governments need to understand the future scenarios of new normals that will happen after COVID-19 and plan accordingly. This book is very relevant, providing information, insights and analysis about these challenges that are facing us today and will do in the future.”

“For business executives, government ministers, international organization leaders, ambiguity and uncertainty in strategic decision-making are ineluctable. They go with the job… Public governance can flourish or founder in any of these contexts. Krishnadas tells us how not to flounder and, perhaps, how to flourish in a world with Covid-19. Leaders should take note.”
