“In the middle of difficulty,” said Albert Einstein, “lies opportunity.”

Leaders have little choice about facing challenges. However, they do have a choice about how they respond to them.

Let me share with you a premise on how flexymanagers® would help a client deal with a present business scenario, caused by the current Covid-19 pandemic.

The client, for example, a hospitality group needs to enhance their work operations, while improving their bottom line. By shifting some of their excess positions to flexymanagers® roles, they can not only improve the productivity of the administrative team but will also be able to reduce operating costs by more than 20%.

Post reviewing their existing key players, and assessing their skills in light of the revised outlook for their sector, they will be moved from Interim roles at flexymanagers® back to permanent positions. This will enable leaders to find new and innovative ways in how, where, and by whom work gets done, and reinvent their business.

Leaders respond to challenges in different ways. Some treat them as temporary issues, and try to resolve them by continuing to do things the same way; they just ratchet the resources up or down, as conditions change. While others view problems as opportunities, a signal for fresh thinking. Problems can open up new worlds if you use them to reassess the current business and talent model, identify new customer needs, and innovate. The present crisis can serve as a catalyst for reinventing your business.

So, what differentiates leaders from successful leaders? It’s their ability to turn problems into opportunities!
