How To Lead in Tough Times



Leadership matters most in tough times. In difficult situations, leaders need to exert their authority for the good of the organization. Leaders do this by providing inspiration as well as example. Most importantly, leaders must dispense hope and confidence in order to give people a reason to believe. Individuals can lead themselves and their teams to success if they;
  • face the truth; show what is going right as well as what needs to improve
  • set the right example for others to follow
  • deal with tough issues that demand decision action
  • encourage alternative viewpoints and leveraging creative tension
  • demonstrate the twin virtues of resilience and perseverance
  • radiate optimism and spread confidence
  • share stories of successful people who accomplish great things for themselves and their teams.
