The most natural response believed to work in difficult economic times is to put your head down. If you stay quiet, hope for the best, cross your fingers, so the thinking goes, you just might ride it out. Okay. It might work. Sometimes.
But this is the path of zero control. And it is your fault when the axe falls. Because you didn't prepare. Turtling is a hope for the best strategy. In fact, it isn’t a strategy at all. I know coz I have been turtling for a while now.But another word for turtling is hiding and hoping the monsters don’t find you.How I wish!
You need options. You need to have a choice. And you need a way of deciphering when it is time to stay and when to go. And here is the kicker: When you hide in your organization, you are just as likely to put yourself in jeopardy as you are to avoid it. In the act of keeping your head down, you might find yourself not adding as much value as you could or should.
Love it! You have an interesting, clear voice.
