Strength and Optimism:


David Farkas’ post quotes Julia Stewart

Stewart, well-known for taking a personal interest in those she employs, suggested assuring workers that things will get better and showing them that everyone in the company is affected by the downturn of events.
"They're looking for any crack that suggests all is not well," she cautioned. "Demonstrate that you have not wavered one iota."
A leader's attitude should be one of "strength and optimism," she said, adding that leaders must "help people see challenge and opportunity" in times like these.
