Who wants to talk about if dealing and responding to adversity? No one.
But your people, your profits and, most important of all, trust in your company are absolutely dependent on how you, as a leader in your organization, respond to problems. It doesn’t matter whether the challenge is internal or external, how you deal with it is so important to your and the future success of your company.
When a problem arises, you might feel as if it’s best to keep it to hidden and fix it for yourself. This may seem ‘safe and prudent’ but, I assure you, it is NOT. News about problems always gets out and you will find that pretending the problem doesn’t exist can damage the trust your people have in your ability to lead them. Regaining trust once lost, is difficult.
As I share in this video, responding to adversity properly is a critical skill for you to master. The latest data from a report on country level trust rankings demonstrates how quickly poor decisions can undermine long standing trust. I provide a few suggestions along with some eye-opening data who trusts whom from a trust report.
Here is a preview: Make certain you understand the best way to resolve conflicts. Keep transparency as a strong component of the organization’s culture and your style of leadership. I also mention my thoughts on ‘know it all’ managers – so yesterday! What works instead?
