Lead your team into a post-pandemic world
|
|
By Hubert Joly, contributor, Harvard Business Review
During the Covid-19 crisis, I’ve spoken with many CEOs who have shared that a key priority for them, naturally, has been the safety and well-being of their employees. And there are
many examples of inspiring actions taken by CEOs and companies in support of their employees. But as we’ve come to recognize that this crisis will last more than a few short weeks, companies are now defining their approach for the long haul.
I’ve seen two crucial ideas take hold with corporate leaders.
One: Given the magnitude of the shock and the challenges that this crisis represents, companies must consider the full breadth of their employees’ needs as people. Safety is essential, of course, but it’s also important to address higher-level needs such as the want for truth, stability, authentic connections, self-esteem, growth, and meaning in the context of the crisis.
Two: Many CEOs have begun thinking about this crisis in three phases. They may assign different names or specific lengths to these phases, but they all roughly map to three distinct time horizons: the shelter-in-place phase, the re-opening phase, and the post Covid-19 phase. When these two ideas are combined, leaders can operate and lead more effectively by dynamically adjusting how they take care of their employees through the unique challenges of each phase.

2019 Form 990-T, 990-PF changes and updates
|
|
By Bryan Pautsch, principal, VonLehman CPA and Advisory Firm
Most of the changes to the 2019 Forms 990-T and 990-PF were minor, including clarifications outlined in the instructions. Here are a few more significant changes:
Form 990-T
- The Charitable Contributions section has been moved to Part III, Line 34 from Part I line 20. The instructions state the deduction for contributions will be allowed whether or not they are directly connected with the conduct of a trade or business. The charitable contribution deduction on Part III, Line 34, is used to offset gross UBTI reported on Part III, Line 32.
- IRC Section 512(a)(7), regarding qualified transportation fringe benefit expenses as UBTI, has been repealed (i.e The Parking Lot Tax). The instructions for Form 990-T have been revised to state that Part III, Line 33, should be left blank. Since the repeal was retroactive, if an exempt organization previously filed Form 990-T and reported qualified fringe benefit expense as UBTI, it should follow the IRS guidance on amending its previously filed returns.
- Part III, Line 35 was added to report the total amount of UBTI before deducting pre-2018 net operating losses and the $1,000 specific deduction.
