C level executives like CEO, COO, CFI running large companies today need a moment.
Why?
I thought about this during a 10.6 mile run through Dublin today.
Because the company strategic plan for the 2020-2025 with the arrival of covid19 have been severely affected if not destroyed.
The focus has turned from being Agile to changing in a way that can be referred as building a plane as you fly in mid-air.
Reinventing the company almost overnight can be seen as frantic and uncertain on social media.
Communication and building trust between employees and customers and suppliers is key and C level executives should be given time to work with employees to enable both to go to great lengths to save jobs and not just think about profits
Employees worry about their jobs and the future of the company, but in most cases it can be forgotten so do the executives.
At this time training on Resilience for all should be provided with knowing that the company will come back from the crisis, not to where it was in the recent past but with new structures and ways to do business in the near future.
Survival will happen if there is Trust and everyone works together and the communication is open within the company.
The leadership attitude and communication style prior to Covid 19 should not be the same during the crisis.
Leaders are working hard on reinvention and new ways of working but they need a moment to communicate a new long term plan and include appropriate training for all staff.
