Are you ready?

I was reading an article this morning that I wanted to share with you all. We seem to be hearing a lot of doom and gloom stories at the minute, jobs being lost and yo-yoing economies. However rather than focus on this negative, what re we doing to prepare for an upturn?

John Baldoni, Leadership Consultant and Coach, writes in the Harvard Business Publishing that now is exactly the time we should be focusing on development of our staff (and ourselves) and focusing on preparing for the upturn.

John suggests, mastering your operations (knowing your strengths and areas for improvement); using the downturn wisely (by planning and preparing) and investing in your people (providing extra training required t0 turn the areas for improvement into strengths).

If you aren't preparing now you'll be left behind. What action are you taking.
