When the economic landscape undergoes radical change, managers must re-orient their organization and teams to be more resilient for the daunting challenges ahead. Leading Through Uncertain Times delivers up-to-the-minute thinking on tackling the troublesome issues that arise during business downturns.
The collection, implemented in both self-paced and blended learning formats, addresses techniques from adjusting strategies to sharpening business discipline and strengthening communication
Leading Through Uncertain Times presents an array of content in three sections organized around nine tasks:
Adapt Your Strategy: Insightful directions on how to assess the situation at hand, protect core competencies, and uncover unique new opportunities.
Manage the Fundamentals: Technique and lessons for improving cost discipline while driving revenue and identifying growth opportunities. Managers will learn how to review best practices, scrutinize and contain costs, and find ways to boost revenues.
