January 10th, 2009 by linkScared and stressed out about the economy? Start with yourself.
In times of crisis we tend to panic and question everything. Avoid freezing like a deer in the headlights, and do not wait for some grand strategy from senior management to turn the tide. The organizations and individuals that will thrive in this chaotic market environment know that leadership is a choice, not a position, and will immediately foster hundreds of moments of trust with their customers and other key stakeholders. These moments of trust will be led by both formal and informal leaders throughout the organization behaving in ways that inspire trust.
I started by checking my trust account with my self. I reflected on my expereince in previous times of stress. I noticed that I have overcome tremendous adversity several times in the past and that I rebounded every time. We need to keep the faith and know we are resilient and will prevail again by behaving in ways that inspire trust in ourselves and others.
