Leading in Tough Economic Times
One of my CEO leadership coaching clients knows that for her company to thrive she needs to become more innovative and develop a new business strategy. I am consulting with the company senior leadership team to develop a more sustainable business strategy. They are currently evaluating several new business scenarios.
• Who figures out what needs to be done?
• Who communicates with confidence?
• Who finds opportunities in chaos, despite uncertainty, inevitable change and unpredictable sales?
If you’re like most, you’ve never before experienced a downturn like this. Reports about the end of the recession mean little if your company continues to fight cash-flow problems.
You cannot allow yourself to be afraid. Others look to you for strength and guidance. You must give the best you have and move quickly, even when faced with incomplete information.
Leading in uncertain times is not for the faint of heart. Some management teams navigate these challenging times well, while others fail miserably. It’s not just the CEO and CFO who are responsible; everyone has an important role to play. Indeed, those who lead well during the recession will emerge as shining stars for tomorrow’s top teams.
In his new book, Leadership in the Era of Economic Uncertainty, bestselling author Ram Charan identifies the key rules to follow if you want to get the right things done in difficult times. They include:
• Pay attention to salespeople’s contributions.
• Accept guidance from your board of directors.
• Understand how various business functions must be aligned and coordinated.
• Communicate candidly and frequently.
• Respond to external pressures in realistic, yet positive, ways.
Are you working in a company or law firm where forward thinking leadership confronts reality? Does your company or law firm provide leadership coaching and leadership development to help leaders uncover opportunity amidst chaos? During tough economic times, leaders need to fully engage the entire workforce and create a sustainable business strategy.
One of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself is “Am I an enlightened leader responds to solving business challenged in a positive way?” Emotionally intelligent and socially intelligent organizations provide executive coaching and leadership development for leaders who want to help their organizations thrive.
Working with a seasoned executive coach and leadership consultant trained in emotional intelligence and incorporating assessments such as the Bar-On EQ-i CPI 260 and Denison Culture Survey can help you create an organization focused on executing a sustainable business strategy. You can become a leader who models emotional intelligence and social intelligence, and who inspires people to become fully engaged with the vision, mission and strategy of your company or law firm.
I am currently accepting new executive coaching, career coaching, and leadership consulting clients. I work with both individuals and organizations. Call 415-546-1252 or send an inquiry e-mail to mbrusman@workingresources.com.
