Mentoring with Mitch – Episode 20: What to Say to Your People in Uncertain Times

In this episode, I give three tips to help your people navigate through challenging times. Times of massive uncertainty and complexity.

Here’s the question:

“We have just been through a major restructure and there have been some redundancies. No more are anticipated, yet the ‘survivors’ are feeling very uncertain about their job security. I can’t, hand on heart tell them that their roles are secure. I don’t want to BS then. What can I say that’s real and can help?”

As a leader, what you say counts!

Your people need to hear these three simple but powerful messages and they need to hear them from you.

They’ll make a tangible difference on engagement and your team’s determination to keep going irrespective of the many challenges outside of everyone’s control.

Enjoy the episode and please share it with your friends, colleagues and leaders you know would benefit from the lessons within.

SUBMIT A QUESTION

We created “Mentoring with Mitch” as a way for you to get your questions answered. Every fortnight, I’ll be fielding specific questions from leaders like yourself and posting the answers as videos. If it relates to management, any facet of leadership, teamwork, engagement, leading at home or in the community, we want to hear it from you.
