Lead the way....

In times of recession being a leader helps a business not only survive, but prosper. It is during this time when leadership really counts....when it is truly needed.

Being a leader can take courage.....you may need to make decisions that steer the company in a completely different direction, insistent to the stakeholders that this is the best thing to do. But what is this based on? Based on courage, conviction, research...or just pure gut instinct? There have been many notable leaders in the past...Sir Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela, Mother Theresa and Martin Luther King spring to my mind, each one of them notable in their own special way, most of them showing courage and making couragious decisions during turbulant times.

More and more companies are looking towards their managers to become leaders. But are they up for the challenge? Do they have the tools to deliver what is asked of them? Do they have the courage to lead us through this recession? I feel sure that in every company, there are leaders waiting to show what they can do....to show that they can help their company ride this recession and come through stronger, leaner and more profitable.

It's time to lead the way......
