A crisis is a terrible thing to waste
So what if the economy is hitting a rough spot? Once you’ve invested more in your customers, cut off the dead limbs, watered the good ones, and given your employees a chance to really shine your company is going to be stronger. If you have cash, there are great deals to be had, if you have good credit, banks are still lending. Everybody is willing to negotiate. It is a buyer’s market. Warren Buffet said “be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.” Right now high quality talent is plentiful, there are many exceptional talents looking for work and many that will work at rates favorable to your clients’ new reality. Start the hunt, hire people you couldn’t afford 12 months ago, whether full time, part time or as a contractor.

3 Simple Questions to Lead People Through a Change Transition - by William Bridges
William Bridges focuses on the transitions and the psychological changes that lie behind significant organisational change. Bridges draws the important and frequently overlooked distinction between change and transition. Bridges sees change as situational and transition as psychological. He poses these 3 simple questions...
Execution All-Stars: Five Famous Companies That Bridged the Execution Gap (and How They Did It)
Ever wonder why some companies consistently meet their goals and others don’t? So did I. And when my consulting firm conducted a study of 400 companies, we found some answers. We discovered that there are five factors that set apart the organizations with the best performance results and those more effective at execution. I think of them as ‘The Five Bridges’ because they help companies close the gap between strategy and execution.” To see what the bridges look like in action, let’s look at a handful of well-known companies that execute exceptionally well.

A Bridge Builders “Cheat Sheet”: Tips & Tricks to Help You Traverse the Execution Gap
My research has found “Five Bridges” that enable a company to execute well. But how do you go about building them? First, you get comfortable with the fact that it’s a never-ending process. Then, you put certain time-tested tools and techniques in place and implement them relentlessly. Here, excerpted from Closing the Execution Gap, are some of my favorite tricks of the trade for getting these bridges underway.
Don't Drag a Dead Horse
In "Transitions, Making Sense of Life's Changes" by William Bridges, the transitions of life have three distinct stages (Endings, Neutral Zone and Beginnings). Bridges states we have a life time of transitions. However, it is very important to understand that before you can begin a new phase of your life, you must end the old phase. An ending is actually the first phase of the transition process and a precondition of self renewal. You must end before you can begin. Many times the endings are ones dealing with past experiences and thoughts. So don't drag a dead horse through the desert.

Bridges and Boundaries
In every human relationship, there will be either a series of bridges or a series of boundaries. Bridges are the trust emotions that link us to others. Boundaries are the distrust emotions that create barriers of perceived protection around us. Both bridges and boundaries will be tested by those we relate to as soon as they are established.

“…So you’re sayin’ there’s a chance?”
Okay, my tastes in movies are not very refined – I like funny and happy. Remember that great scene in Dumb and Dumber where Lloyd (Jim Carrey) and Harry (Jeff Daniels) have driven across the country to reconnect with Lloyd’s dream girl, Mary (Lauren Holly)? Lloyd: What do you think the chances are of a guy like you and a girl like me... ending up together?
Real leadership is the only solution to any leadership crisis
There is a lack of real leadership everywhere. Politicians are in general the worst examples of leadership. Real leaders build bridges between opposing forces so that both work together for the good of all. Real leaders are authentic, transparent and trustworthy. We are compelled to follow real leaders because they tell a compelling, believable story that rings true in our hearts and minds. Real leaders are the Kings and Queens of both/and. Like never before we must stand against the tyranny of either/or and be the difference we want to see in the world. Be a real leader, please. We need to move on from the frauds who claim to lead us and build the bridges to our new world.
Are you building bridges or walls?
The mantra of successful leaders and managers is “let’s find a way forward together.” The mantra of unsuccessful leaders and managers is “my way is the only way.” Successful leaders build bridges. Unsuccessful leaders build walls? Are you building bridges or walls?
