Moving the Peanut: Make Sure the Motion is in the Right Direction
Are you reviewing everything that you are doing right now? This is the time for re-evaluating and re-purposing your business if that is what is called for. Companies that take the time to re-evaluate everything and anything will be the ones left standing and growing in future years.
Whether you call it downsizing, right-sizing or optimizing, the result is employees that are confused and uncertain about what will happen next and how it will affect them. You do have to tell the something! This is the time to be talking about the possibilities and even if you are sharing the uncertainty saying something instills more confidence than staying silent.
What is under your control? Those are the things to concentrate on right now. You may be moving the peanut forward but are you sure that you are moving in the appropriate direction. STOP! Evaluate…and if need be restructure, and revisit products and services. See how you can leverage what you have already created.
Are YOU moving the peanut in the right direction?
