Get ready for another compelling episode of Leadership is Feminine with your host, Kris Plachy! This week, we're diving into the intriguing concept of being "at the ready." Inspired by a thought-provoking chat with one of her clients, Kris explores what it means for leaders and their teams to be prepared for unexpected challenges. With a landscape full of uncertainty, akin to the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, the discussion couldn’t be more timely.
In a world where change is the only constant, Kris encourages us to assess our ‘at the ready’ status in areas critical to both personal and professional survival. She breaks it down into categories to focus on—finances, team dynamics, and personal schedules. Ask yourself, are you financially secure, or is there room to streamline those unnecessary expenses? When it comes to your team, Kris asks the tough questions: Are you nurturing a capable crew, or is it time to reassess?
Readiness is not just a strategic necessity but a mindset to cultivate. Tune in for more insights on finding the balance between planning for tomorrow while handling today’s unpredictabilities.
