Is your business ready for good times again?

Business & the economy most definitely WILL come back, heard on Dave Ramseys (Christian Personal Finance/Get out of Debt) radio show the other day.

Leadership is hugely needed in the business/workplace; earning back respect, etc. Paraphrased words of Daves, a topic of which I have been speaking of lately as well.

Dave is someone I referenced in my first book, in addressing this Q&A: Where do managers get leadership learning?
Answer: Advice from friends and family? Yikes, thats nuts.
As Dave says, How illogical it is to get financial advice from people in your life (family, friends, etc) who are up to their ears in debt?

As business comes back, are you the ownership, your business, and/or your managers ready to lead?

Very likely bad leadership/management practices and behaviors (how people have been treated over past few years) have caused people to sour on their organization! When times are tough, jobs are limited; people will tolerate very ineffective management/leadership. After all, when I (the employee) need the job, am I going to be complaining about my boss?

The point here is that organizations and management better be prepared when people CAN complain again; when there are jobs again or they just begin to think about leaving because of how badly they feel they have been treated? Will you or your organizations managers have an understanding of all this and know how to provide the effective leadership that will be required?

Just some food for thought! Holler if I can help :)
