When the going gets tough, where do you get going?

It’s no surprise that a common theme amongst best-selling books today is ‘Leadership in Tough Times’. It’s a critical topic and one that applies to the business world as much as it does to your personal life.

How do you respond in tough times, when life presents a ‘major problem’?

Do you get angry and start to blame others?

Do you freeze like a deer in headlights, trapping yourself in analysis paralysis?

Do you act like a victim and complain that there’s nothing you can do?

Maybe you seek shelter from the storm by turning to the fridge, the bar or some other pleasure-seeking distraction?

It’s easy to be a leader when things are going well.

Profits rising? What an outstanding CEO!

Back-to-back championships? The captain and the coach are going to the Hall of Fame!

Epic family holiday? World’s Greatest Dad creates awesome memories for his kids!

Yet, the true test of a leader is when things turn for the worst.

Do YOU remain decisive and focused when everyone else is losing their mind?

Do YOU act as a role model and lead by example in your attitude and actions?

Do YOU compartmentalize the stress at work so you can be present for your loved ones at home?

Do YOU maintain the determination and discipline needed to turn your situation around when life knocks you down – loss of job, failed business, dissatisfying career path, major health scare or a messy divorce?

Look, if you’ve been tossed around by the storms of ‘tough times’ and know that YOU need to be a better leader — of yourself, of your family, of your career trajectory — and you just can’t seem to get your head above water in any consistent way, we should talk.
