Making the Shift from Survival to Growth
It’s been 12 months since the global investment banking systems collapse, starting a domino-like financial crisis with major impact on Ireland. The worst appears to be over in the US; but not so in Ireland. When it is, hard work in rebuilding your business still lies ahead.
This shift (as it comes more sharply into focus) from immediate survival to planning the next steps is creating a new set of challenges for leaders in Ireland and elsewhere, explains Dr. Dick Ruhe, senior consulting partner with The Ken Blanchard Companies and coauthor of the business book 'Know - Can Do!'
“People in businesses throughout Ireland have spent the last 6-12 months thinking about, “What if?” What if they kill off my part of our organisation? What if they cut out my role? What if the entire organisation goes under? When people are putting on their life jackets it is very difficult to ask them to simultaneously stay under sail. But once the immediate disaster is averted, it is important for leaders to chart a new course of action.” READ THE FULL ARTICLE
