How do you lead through tough times?

Steve Miller:
* You must have a pre-determined plan. You must know how you’re going to respond before things fall apart. In Job 1:20, Job losses stripped him all the way back to his values.
* Know your values. Your emotions respond to your values. We tell our emotions how to respond, we don’t let ourselves simply respond.

Dave Anderson:
* “You don’t wait your way out of a crisis.”
* In order to lead through a crisis you must:
1. Lead: don’t maintain, lead. “Chart the course, not the results.”
2. Redefine expectations for the people.
3. Narrow focus to short term goals. You need results now, daily objectives, to make a day worth it you must put a number on the day for accountabilities sake.
4. Remove dead weight. Don’t be in the business of rescue missions.
5. Cut once, cut all. Explain the closure to those remaining.
6. Focus on what you can control – attitude, work ethic, etc.
7. Don’t compromise my character. “We become more from the crisis.”

John Maxwell:
1. Face reality head-on.
* reality is the foundation you build on in crisis
* Jack Welch said in Straight to the Gut, here are 6 rules to lead by:
1. Control your own destiny or someone will
2. Face reality as it is
3. Be candid with everyone
4. Don’t manage, lead
5. Change before you have to
6. If you don’t have a competitive advantage, don’t compete

2. Believe in myself – crisis makes belief in myself plunge.
* acid test: I bet on myself
* during a crisis most people are looking for a sponsor
* allow others to borrow my belief

3. Posses a spirit of learning in a crisis
* lessons learned in a crisis are 10x of that learned during good times
* Maxwell is writing a book called Sometimes you win, sometimes you lead.
* What did the crisis teach me? If I don’t learn, the opportunity to learn will present itself again.
* What 2-3 things have I learned in the last two years from the financial crisis?
* What am I learning today from things not going well?

Tom Arrington:
* Leaders must lead because all eyes are on the leader. They must do it in a calm, assuring tone.
* Set high standards
* Develop a simile plan
* Work with urgency, not frantic, controlled power
* Keep every promise made
