Can’t Say It Any Better!
One of the blogs I read frequently is www.greatleadershipbydan.com. This past Sunday, he was musing on the challenges of leadership in times of chaos, and he said this:
“Our managers, like most managers today, are faced with some tough challenges. This is not the time to be pushing anything their way that’s not directly relevant to improving sales, lowering expenses, or improving client service. At the same time, while focusing on the bottom line, they need to keep their teams productive and sane.”
In times of heavy chaos or crisis, exactly the opposite tends to occur. Increased chaos brings increased scrutiny, and increased scrutiny brings increased distraction for business leaders when they need to be intensely focused on “improving sales, lowering expenses, and improving client service.”
I can’t say it any better than Dan did on Sunday.
