LEADERSHIP. ============ CRISIS INEVITABLE One thing that is inevitable in the life of the leader is crisis. When you rise to a position of leadership, you will experience crises repeatedly – crises that are unpredictable, unbidden, and often capable of seriously damaging the organisation. It is in the crisis that the leader demonstrates his competence. In times of crisis, the leader becomes calm, cool, objective, and completely in control. The leader asks questions and gathers information. He assesses the situation accurately and makes whatever decisions necessary to minimize the damage and cut the losses. Great leaders discipline themselves to keep their fears and misgivings private. They do not share their concerns with their staffs, knowing that this can cause confusion and loss of morale. Instead the leader asks a lot of questions, probes deeply into situations so that he or she understands them thoroughly, and keeps his or her feelings private. As far as the members of the organisation are concerned, the leader is always calm, positive, relaxed, and in complete control – no matter what is happening, BRIAN TRACY. SEE YOU AT THE TOP.
