The call for leadership
Posted on 11. Jan, 2010 by admin in Gary's Blog
Employees want strong and effective leaders. They want to know someone is at the helm who can get them out of this current mess. It’s senior management’s responsibility to take on the current economic situation directly. If an organization is staffed for double-digit growth and that’s not in the cards, management can’t ignore the situation. But instead of massive lay-offs, they could rethink the way the organization is structured, make decisions that prioritize what work DOESN’T get done, redeploy talent, or actually spend money to encourage innovation that opens up new revenue streams (i.e. Apple and the iPod/iPhone).
Where have all the business leaders gone?

The economic crisis has sent severe shockwaves through the world-wide business community. This has stimulated relentless reporting on job loss, foreclosures, rising unemployment, companies disappearing overnight, the fragile nature of the stock market, and bailouts of institutions too large to fail. Unthinkable events for a business world wired for positive news and continual growth.
