Do you feel like wearing a costume?

Halloween is fast approaching.

The world economic situation is turbulent to say the least. As a manager do you see this as a trick? Do you see it as a treat? Or do you add an h to treat and get t-h-reat!

trick or treat

I am interested in the impact of this turbulence on your and your managing:

  • Has your work changed?
  • Has is had an impact on staffing?
  • Are you thinking about management or the workplace in a different way?
  • Are you making any specific plans or developing any “what if?” thinking?
  • Are you changing any of the ways you save or spend money?

    I have not seen any real impact from the economy at work but I suspect it will be a lagging indicator.

    We are in the repair business so it is just as likely that we will see a positive because our customers will hold their assets longer rather than buying new equipment.

    Marc:
    I appreciate your comments as there is so much variance on a scale of something this big. Good for some tough for others well uncertain for even others.

    Nothing has changed yet, but we are thinking about “what if” and making plans.

    Marianne:
    I image there is much “what if” planning taking place across the world right now.
