IOU the Truth
 
Life in California. Golden eagles, grizzly bears, poppy flowers, stunning sunshine, not enough rain, and now . . . IOUs.
 
Being a Californian is embarrassing these days. Yes, the great state residents bragged about for so long, the world's 8th largest economy.
 
What IOUs are you issuing, as a leader? What are you hoping or planning to do? What are you expressing, aloud, that you will do? Unlike the IOUs the State of California is handing out, yours will not earn interest.
 
Promises to manage differently, those uttered publicly and noted privately, swiftly devalue.
 
Don't pledge. Do. Don't bail out. Avoid or stop.
 
Issue promises for behaviors for which you don't need to borrow time or money.
 
Regards from the San Francisco Bay Area,
 
Leila
 
Complimentary Webinar:
 What Now? Next Steps after Restructuring and Layoffs
 
Leila joins Markus Buckingham and Dave Urlich as a July 17 webinar leader for the Society for HR Management.
 
She will discuss how to address the primary challenges managers and leaders have after RIFs: re-engaging workforces, holding ongoing discussions around restructuring and budget cuts, curbing turnover of top performers, and coaching managers to guide their teams.

If you're not a SHRM member, the session will be repeated July 23, 10-11 am PDT. Register for this complimentary webinar.
