Today’s Thought? What Type Of Corporate Leader Are You?
When a critical issue arises in your business, one that needs to be addressed immediately and decisively, how do you react?
Do you show panic, appear as if you are a deer in the headlights or perhaps does your face contort in horror?
In other words, what type of leader do your employees, your supervisor, your co-managers and/or your customers see?
Do you react like the kids in this video?
Or, do you take lead in the way that some of the quotes below suggest?
Hopefully the answer is that you are the latter but, if not, there is always time to try and do better in the future!
