Head in the Sand or Legs that run...




According to the HR Magazine, Employers fear their workforces lack of skills, will hamper their recovery.

We are meeting more and more employees who we find in a state of paralysis or fear over the economic situation and faced with job cuts and budget cuts, they feel less empowered to take action and are finding it even harder to see where they can add value. One option is to bury your head in the sand... Another is to create an environment where the team can get into flow and create some ideas to generate profit, that are ideas with legs...

This of course is the key to the success. Sometimes, just a simple discussion to get clarity on what would be of the most value right now, can have a dramatic impact on bottom line and more importantly, confidence to continue doing it!

Following just a one hour performance consulting discussion last week with one of my clients, who has been experiencing this paralysis, they were able to create a £100k action that can be implemented immediately, at no extra cost to the bsuiness, just by doing some simple accountability restructuring within the team.

So go on, have a conversation about it. Its not just about getting more training or developing new skills, sometimes its just about thinking differently...
