Difficult times are the ultimate test of leadership. These are the times when lifelong bonds can be established or connections can be lost. Deep human connections are all ultimately based on faith. Faith that through them strength, security and growth will come. Leaders need to ground that faith in confidence, consistency and an unfailing positive attitude.
At this moment, many leaders have been put in the impossible position of having to show confidence when the foundations of their businesses, their markets and the global economy are being challenged. It doesn’t work to try to hide things or to spin things or to simply put on a happy face. What people need from their leaders today is authentic confidence. That is what leaders have to reach deep down to find right now. The great ones always find it and their connections are strengthened as a result.
