Invitation for You...

THIS IS A SPECIAL INVITATION...

I invite all leaders (from every area and walk of life!) to join me in this blog, which among other things, will be discussions and snippets from The Leaders Vault.

The vault is a special library containing the teachings of leaders from thousands of years. It was recently made public by Stan, who is the main character of CATAPULTED.

From my blog you may find some ideas for your company, a little bit of mentoring, and you may just notice the world a little differently.

You will be invited to participate in the ongoing conversations and comment on what you've learned, or to ask questions so that discussion might be more helpful to you.

Each post will end in a question to keep the dialog going with you.

Please, if you like what you see, subscribe to at least the Silver Level of The Leader's Vault (the free level) so you can stay informed and "at the top of your game."

And, please forward a link to CatapultedLeader.com to your friends and colleagues.

You are ALL WELCOME to come in and see what The Leaders' Vault is all about...

Financial Crisis Requires a Heavy Dose of What's Next and What's Near

The ongoing economic crisis has exposed a lot of doubts and fears. Fears about personal economic security, fears about opportunity, and doubts about management. People are hazy about what matters most. They are confused if their actions really can affect their future. Events seem to be out of their hands.

The same worries that are pushing employees sanity are pushing management teams into closed conference rooms. These rooms become clandestine lairs where managers go in but no information returns. Managers are trying to get everything right before they share the next step. Yet employees are feeling abandoned.

Managers should deliver more information sooner. They need to give the next objective. Weekly target or even daily. In stressful periods, people want to know "where am I" and "where am I going."

Remember the last time you were at the airport waiting for an unannounced delayed flight. Travelers keep lining up to get information which wastes the airline agent's time. The airline personnel complain but they have the power to fix the issue. If they just put up a hand-written notice they would reduce worries.

Give smaller bits of information in shorter intervals. Don't delay for perfect answers. To be a good leader in times of crisis, take a stand on what is next.
