Some folks feel helpless when external forces force change and disruption. They’re not and you’re not helpless. I recommend this recent article from the HBR blog:
What You Can Control in a Tough Business Climate
via HBR.org by Karie Willyerd on 23/02/12
In short it is in your control to:
“1. Setting clear goals and adjusting those goals when necessary based on changing circumstances, resulting in more frequent but more relevant goals;
2. Aligning goals throughout the organization, top to bottom and across;
3. Identifying and treating high performers differently than low performers through consistent feedback across the organization;
4. And using software at all levels to provide process support, analytics, and insights into all of the above.”
