Following on from last week’s checklist for surviving in these challenging times:

1)   Prepare Yourself:

• Walk towards the pressure.
• Look at the world as it is, not as it used to be, not as you’d like it to be.
• Remember your ABC’s (Ambition, Belief, Courage).  You’ve got this.  You will win.  Lead with Courage.
• Stay true to your Personal Purpose.

2)   Prepare Your Team:

• Recommit to the Company’s Purpose, stay focused on the Focus.
• Connect.  Collaborate.  Communicate.  Commit.
• Remember, none of us is as good as all of us.
• Practice the Three HUMs (Humanity, Humility, Humour).
• Cheerlead, spread calm, share the spotlight and zap energy.
• Focus on Alignment, rather than Agreement.

3)   Prepare The Company:

• Simplicity wins in a downturn, complexity loses.
• Speed to Action is a huge differentiator.
• Eliminate.  Eliminate.  Eliminate.
• Be choiceful – if it doesn’t reduce risk, save money or drive revenue, don’t do it.
• See Surviving the Downturn (July 22^nd).

Take the Shot!
