Top Takeaways
Plan for the worst, live out the best
You may not have been impacted by this as far as revenue goes, but now is the time to be reminded that anything can happen in our world today that we can turn into a positive.
- How can you impact others in a positive way?
- If you were to be impacted, what would you do?
It’s been so important during these times to have daily huddles to keep in touch with what is going on inside the organization.
Leaders are working more on the business vs. inside the business.
The Five Steps to Creating an Actionable Strategic Plan
Assess
Find your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats inside the business
- Then determine what you will do to protect your strengths and what you will do to remove the weaknesses
- What have you wanted to do, that now you may have time to achieve and what steps can be taken to mitigate the risk associated with those threats?
- Also find your short term and long-term trends – What’s working and what’s not?

- Define your end goal, then determine what you need to do each week to achieve that end goal. Be specific about the goals that you want to achieve.

Energize (Celebrate)
- Set a theme around the company priorities and make it fun for the team
- Put rewards, celebrations and reminders in place that keep the team connected to the theme
