Leaders Don’t Cry
January 6, 2010 by Ed McLaughlin
When a kitten is confused or in danger, it will do nothing but cry for help. Sooner or later, it’s mother or owner will carry it to safety.
Too many in business have the same attitude.
That’s a problem. It’s a problem because although it looks like we’re starting to emerge from the recession, we’re not out of the woods yet. So the stop-loss efforts made by many (job cuts, salary reductions, training program elimination) have accomplished little more than buy time. Yet time is running out, and there are still fundamental business challenges that need to be addressed.
Crying for help – as many are doing – isn’t going to solve anything.
You can improve your business a number of different ways. But before you do anything else, make sure you have the right attitude. Because no one is going to carry you to safety.
