Learn Leadership Skills to Survive the Economic Downturn

Posted by Sandy Gluckman, Leadership Speaker in Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX on Oct 22, 2008

Sandy Gluckman, PhD, corporate speaker and leadership consultant can help your executives, managers and supervisors learn leadership skills to take your company through this economic downturn and beyond. Leading through an economic downturn requires special leadership skills.  The challenge that leaders face is that employee disengagement and alienation has reached staggering proportions in the USA. According to the Gallup organization, about 22 million employees are switched off and tuned out.  This means that more than half of all employees in America are not acting in ways that create business success!  This is costing the American economy up to $300 billion a year.  With this dismal picture of employee participation, your company needs to be proactive in teaching your leaders how to keep productivity, performance and corporate growth on track.

 

When you consider that these statistics were taken before the recent announcement of an economic downturn, it is not difficult to believe that this news and the effects we have started to realize have made the challenge of employee disengagement even greater.  As a corporate speaker and consultant, Sandy can teach your leaders the leadership skills necessary to overcome the issues employees face when have seen their neighbors, friends, colleagues, brothers, sisters and spouse lose their jobs.  These employees are frightened, insecure and anxious beyond description; their world feels very unsafe; many are taking medication for sleeplessness and stress-related disorders.  The reality is that people in this condition cannot deliver superior performance at this time when companies need it more than ever before.  

 

In a recent keynote speech to 100 CEO’s Dr. Gluckman said, “I have no doubt that the statistics of tuned out employees represents one of the greatest challenges facing the leaders of corporate America today.  Corporate speaker and consultant Sandy Gluckman teaches and inspires leaders around the globe with her leadership skills training and keynote presentations.   Her concept Spirited Economics™ empowers leaders and managers with 6 behavior, and 6 communication skills specifically designed to energize employees and result in the kind of performance that can deliver sustainable growth.
