When a crisis appears, it’s particularly important to gather our resources and act in alignment.
This is where it’s imperative to stick together! When things get rough, when the storms of change start to blow, we need to stick together and see things through.
Another way of saying this is that we need to stay focused on our ‘mission’. When problems occur and disunity arises, we need to navigate through them and back to our core values. This is why communication is vital during a crisis.
I call it ‘holding hands in traffic’.
Your Challenge
If you’re facing a losing deal or a minor downsize, no matter how big or small, try some open, honest communication.
1. Communicate the mission for the week, month or year.
2. Communicate the reason and purpose, and where you think it went wrong.
3. Then … communicate that if you stay together, you can face the situation with so much more energy and strength.
Try it!
