Managing Through Challenging Times
Overview
The current economic climate is affecting us all at varying levels and in various ways. The impact on your organisation will have become visible and very real. Those organisations who have streamlined resourcing or improved efficiency will still be expected to maintain productivity and performance levels but with a smaller head count and possibly reduced motivation. This can be a very demanding and stressful time for you as a manager and you will need to develop different skill sets to keep motivation and performance levels at the level you need.
