Leading Beyond a Crisis, Part I: How Actions You Take Today will Impact Your Organization Post Crisis
We’re in it. We’re leading through a crisis, and doing the best we can. Someday we’ll emerge and face a new set of leadership challenges. Collective Confidence is pleased to introduce a three-part series for leaders looking for guidance on how to lead beyond a crisis. Packed with practical, actionable steps, we provide direction on how to use the clarity and conviction of long-term commitment to inform immediate decisions, decisions that position you to emerge with confidence.
Part I: How Actions You Take Today will Impact Your Organization Post Crisis
Cost reductions. Cash management. Project deferrals. Furloughs. Pay cuts. Lay offs. These are among the practical realities organizations are facing as they navigate through the COVID-19 crisis.
I sure hope you are not among the leaders taking people-impacting actions without considering other practical realities.
You are a brand. You employ human beings who believe in your mission or cause. You have customers who trust you. You contribute to the vibrancy of a community. The COVID-19 pandemic will come to an end.
This is a time of paradox. Some of us must take drastic actions today in order to be around tomorrow, where others may not be around tomorrow if their drastic actions are not handled with care. To help you balance short-term decisions with your long-term dreams, we offer you 9 leadership questions for you and your teams to discuss, debate, and decide.
At Collective Confidence, we play the long game. We advocate for systemic change, accounting for internal and external factors impacting the organization now and over time.
Our clients hire us because they trust us to guide them through solving challenging people problems and building a culture that drives impact and amplifies what makes them unique.
We’d welcome the opportunity to be of service to you as you lead not just through, but beyond, the crisis. We are confident we can help. Send us a LinkedIn Message or connect with us at www.collectiveconfidence.com/contact.
