What is the difference between good times and these times? There are a couple of things, but the key question is do you lead differently during tough times than you lead during great times? The short answer is "no", but there's more.
When I have led teams through muliple mergers, budget crunches and hiring freezes, the stress gets high and the emotions run wild, but the reality is that those you lead are still looking to you for leadership, guidance, motivation and understanding. Keep in mind leadership doesn't mean you doing all the work, it means you developing those you have the privilege of leading.
Tough times are not an excuse to stop leading or to stop leading well, they are merely a reason for you to improve your skills that much more and keep on truckin'. (er, I mean leading)
Stay Contagious!
