Please see the link below for an excellent article, ‘Be the Voice of Calmness and Lead Your Team,’ by Monte Wyatt. The article contains excellent tips for leading your team through this global event. The critical components are staying calm and helping those around you do the same, managing the cash needed to get to the other side of the situation, focusing on what the economy will look like at that point, and planning accordingly.
If you have the needed capital – engage in a strategic manner to properly align your product or service offering for the new normal. What products and services are actually increasing now, what products or services that were not a priority prior to March 1 will be a priority going forward? Successful products and services are tailored to user demand; what will users demand this coming fall? What you sell now? What you sell now but with modifications? Not what you sell now but something you are uniquely qualified to deliver? Do not assume the marketplace will return to where it was, plan for where it will be and you will reap the rewards, you will feel more in control of your future, you will be more confidant and help those around you feel the same.
