It's Not Time to Panic, It's Time to Pivot
Concerned about how COVID-19 will affect your organization this year?
This is not a “business as usual” moment.
Trying to lead an organization and team through internal changes and pivots can be disruptive enough. Adding in external factors such as recession, pandemic and shifting of customer priorities and buying habits, and you can have a recipe for disaster for meeting your revenue targets and achieving the big outcomes you have defined for this year.
How do you navigate these complexities and keep your team focused on the right things?
How do you keep morale up when everyone is afraid?
How do you navigate changes in the way you work together and still adhere to your strategic plan?
Whether you lead a team in a larger organization or you own the business, your team will look to you as a role model and as a rock amidst the storm. That puts tremendous pressure on you as a leader. And you are not immune to the same fears and stress your team is affected by. The difference is, you have to lead despite them.
If you aren’t talking with your team about the effect of current circumstances on your bottom line and strategic plan this year, it’s time.
Even if the downward spiral is halted in 30 days, there will be a longer effect on the economy and likely on your organization. This is simply reality.
It’s not time to panic, it’s time to plan your pivot.
