Shandel Group has weathered three of these recessions alongside our clients.
We narrowed it down to 6 main points that fit nicely into an appropriate acronym STEADY and motto of “Stay STEADY and Thrive."
STEADY:
Simplify Everything- “Simplify everything so you can have clarity for the journey.” - Shandel Sutherland
Run an Organizational Optimization Diagnostic - a fast track to identifying any looming issues in regards to: People, Priorities and Performance. Optimizing is the key outcome of simplifying. Make sure your company is optimized and healthy to weather this next season.
Train, Teach & Invest in Talent- Your people have been through a lot from being laid off during COVID, then overworked during the labor shortage, and now looming layoffs and huge inflation that truly hits the middle class worker hard. Have empathy for your employees and commit to invest in them, both as people first and assets that are precious to you.
Elevate Structure- This is where you take the time and implement all the issues you identified in your Organizational Optimization Diagnostic in regards to processes, systems, and broken procedures. Your team will be inspired to create Standard Operating Procedures (SOP’s) and with the clarity you have from simplifying your structure, and with a team that is fully trained, it is time to sharpen the edge of the spear for the battle ahead.
Attitude is Everything- Have a positive mindset. Project an atmosphere of hope and confidence as you lead your team to their next level during economic uncertainty. If you are confident your team will be confident as well.
Double Down on Culture- Are you and every member of your team, living and breathing your purpose, mission, and values? If not, make a fast effort to get back to them. If you are not clear on them, get us on board with you ASAP to discover and define those values. It is not that you ‘have” them, it is that you live them, and make decisions with those values in mind.
Your Leadership First- Lead yourself through all the STEADY steps in your personal life. Work the steps, and challenge yourself to some real intentional unplugged rest in the next month to sharpen the proverbial saw and prepare for the marathon ahead.
