Leading in a Recession for the Upturn

“When the going gets tough, the tough get going!”
We all know by now that managing in a recession is tough. The demands on senior leaders are greater than ever before. And yes they need to be tough (resilient) and they need to get going. But how? What is the ‘right’ strategy? How should they behave? How can you cope with the immediate crisis and at the same time build for the future? And building a platform for the future has to be the focus. Recessions segregate the strong from the weak; those with a plan from those in panic; and those being led and those that follow.

This powerful programme is not theoretical leadership training. On the contrary it is led by an experienced Managing Director. Someone with over ten years at the helm of businesses. Small businesses, corporate subsidiaries, AIM listed companies and family businesses. Businesses facing growth pains and also a couple needing significant restructuring and cost reduction. So someone who has experienced the pain as well as used his strong professional training and education. And someone who has significant experience in guiding senior leaders and in facilitating them in understanding and dealing with the challenges the real world creates.

This course helps learners to:

• Identify the key challenges and opportunities for their organisation in the current economic environment
• Develop the options and choices they have for taking their organisation forward
• Prioritise their actions and understand the first steps

Participants are encouraged to bring to the programme their current situation and their concerns, and in a confidential environment, challenge and refine their plans.

This is NOT ‘chalk and talk, sit and listen’ training. It IS a practical hands on participative course designed to provide you with frameworks, checklists and tools to work with and then to provoke your thinking, challenge your assumptions and help you develop a clearer view of your own way forward. Leaving you with a better understanding, a greater clarity over decisions, better action plans and more informed choices. As such the workshop process and the outcomes will be influenced by the specific needs of the delegates and the challenges and opportunities they face.

This course provides senior leaders with checklists, tips and techniques for assessing and addressing the key challenges:

• Generating cash, maintaining cashflow and securing financing in difficult times
• Sustaining and growing market share through market decline by winning, retaining and growing profitable clients
• Retaining motivation & morale whilst reducing costs, restructuring and retrenching
• Driving and surviving rapid change by creating followers through strong leadership
