Troubling Times

As Entrepreneurs, we must deliver. Deliver on the commitments we make through our written agreements with our customers, the promises we make to the community and to our employees. As leaders, we must think long term. It is our responsibility to get as much information from reputable science-based sources and make a plan. 

The plan for each one of us as leaders will be different. And like any strategic objective, it can change over time as we get better more fact-based information. Do not panic, do not believe the hype on either the far right or the far left. Stay grounded. Make your plan and be open to changing it as the situation develops and as you receive more information. 

Remember this, no one cares how much you know until they know how much you care. The plan for your service and your employees must demonstrate your care. If it does, whatever you decide will work out the best way it can. In times like these, we are most successful when we watch out for each other.

As much as possible be a resource, don’t hoard resources. Think about the idea that you only get what you give. Now is not a time to hold onto what others need or to capitalize on your competitors’ short fallings. If you have something of value, share it. 

Please share any and all personal and professional resources both inside your industry and out. With that in mind, I welcome your comments below and in PM’s.
