Stand Up & Take Action

Something I am noticing more and more - particularly since the whole Covid thing started - is the tendency for wanting to hide until this whole thing is over. 

I get it. This is unchartered territory.

No-one really knows how the rest of this year and into next year will play out. 

This fear of the unknown and not knowing how things will work out is causing people to want to hide, shy away, not take action and just generally procrastinate. 

At the moment - the whole leadership piece is really real. It's actually needed more than ever.

Your team and your business need you to be charting the ship and steering them into calmer waters. They need you to be guiding them, making decisions, speaking your mind and making things happen.

.....and you can't do this through in-action and procrastination. 

A big fear in a lot of my clients that I'm working with at the moment is not wanting to stand out and make a decision for fear of making the wrong one.

I completely understand this logic - you don't want to make the wrong call and do something to potentially jeopardise things that are already on tender hooks due to a volatile market. 

But trust me - indecision and inaction is going to hurt your team and your business a lot more than a wrong decision. 

As I said at the start - this is unchartered territory. 

A mentality of adapting, changing, trying new things, discarding what’s not working and implementing things that are working is what’s needed right now. 

So if you have noticed that you are tending to move away from making decisions, hiding rather than speaking up - then I really encourage you to inspect why. 

Let go of the fear of making the wrong call - and just get in there, take action and learn as you go!
