## What Jamie wrote

Great article highlighting the difference in leading during the first part of the pandemic, and where we are now. 

> Personal resilience in the second wave is a different story because it relies on psychological stamina. Psychological stamina rests on more deep-seated emotional patterns shaped by our individual needs, histories, and experiences. Stamina is required because, frankly, the second wave is not exciting at all. People report feeling bored, disconnected, and unnerved. In contrast to the skin-deep reactions of the first wave, the second wave requires perseverance, endurance, and even defiance against the randomness, gloom, and burden of the pandemic.

There is a lot here for anyone that leads teams to think about. It makes sense that as a situation like the pandemic goes on for a long time, the emotions and feelings we have will change. I definitely have felt and seen some things that this article highlights. Thanks to [Cecil Johnson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/cecilwjohnson/) for the link.
