Essential Tips
We have compiled a list of ten essential tips that will help you lead with confidence and navigate through the uncertain times.
Acknowledge your Team Members
Acknowledge your team members’ worries – and your own. You become more authentic, and employees trust you more.
Be Empathetic
Empathy is a superpower and creates increased engagement among everyone. So be more interested than interesting!
Be Transparent and Clear
People want to understand and get rid of confusion. The clearer you are, the more trust you can get. Trust creates more engagement.
Involve More than you Inform
Use employees’ Collective intelligence i.e. experiences and ideas. You do not have to have all the answers yourself.
Care about your Customers
It is amazing how many people treat customers poorly despite uncertain times. Be your best and turn your customers into ambassadors. If demand is lower than supply you will have loyal customers.
Lead by Example
No fruit baskets for management if you have removed them for everyone else. No fat bonuses when everyone else is without. Do not think that employees do not see through such things.
Talk about How you talk
In uncertain times, it’s easy to talk about impending disasters. “Who’s next to turn in their badge? Are they shutting down this department?” etc. Trash talk and negative talk affect our motivation and we all will suffer.
Be Available
Your employees want to know that you are not hiding but dare to be there when they want to air problems or worries.
Focus on what’s Good
By commanding our brains to look for positive news, we can increase resistance, feel more gratitude, have more fun, and reduce stress.
Do something
With action comes motivation. Focus on what you can do and then do it.
