In tough times, all eyes are on the leader. While pressure can move some leaders to blame and intimidate their staff, true leaders take control of the situation. They remain unfazed as they analyze circumstances.
Challenging times bring out the best in a true leader. They manage to transcend tough times, seeing opportunity in adversity. A leader’s composure is sensed in his attitude, presence, and body language. This has tremendous impact on his team, sustaining their productivity.
Sheila Viesca, TalkShop CEO explains, “It is grace under pressure that marks true leadership. One has the choice to respond. One in control will be unfazed, analyze circumstances , see solutions , and act accordingly.
How does one go through this process. Viesca shares :
1. Set a timeline for your plan and the different phases
2. Set ways to measure success
3. Determine how long the plan will take and how soon to determine if it is working
4. Set a contingency plan in case one has to change tack.
“It is basically setting a goal after much reflection, and finding the direction and momentum to move forward, while leading the team,” Viesca adds.
