The pandemic has tested the resolve of company leaders across the board. From budget cuts to pivot plans, businesses have had to adapt rapidly to the changing landscape, which might have resulted in some erratic, uninformed decision-making along the way. However, this tendency to make fear-based reactions in anticipation of perceived dangers can result in wasted energy and resources for your business. That’s why the latest in Vision’s Business Bootcamp webinars sought to provide valuable lessons on leadership decision-making.
What You’ll Discover About the Leadership Decision-Making
Being the leader of a company has never been more difficult than over the past year. Faced with a litany of hurdles and a worldwide pandemic has exacerbated any ensuing consequences of your decision-making. Recognizing these struggles leaders face, our COO Julia Becker Collins released this webinar focused on demystifying the keys to making impactful decisions and what it will take for your business to succeed in the current climate by teaching you about:
- Following a realistic budget before pursuing a dream budget after accomplishing your goals
- Determining whether your time is better spent increasing your knowledge or pursuing sales
- Getting rid of superfluous expenditures to keep your staff employed during the pandemic
- Constantly upkeeping your marketing, despite being temporarily or partially shut down
- Building rapport and trust with clients using transparency in communications and marketing
- Identifying the parts of your business you can control, adjust, and move when pivoting
- Creating and maintaining an identity and an authentic brand online
Also discussed in this webinar is the importance of clear communication with clients. Beyond transparency, your business should be keeping your customers informed of any plans to repivot or temporary changes in your operations, such as revised business hours or pickup or delivery instructions.
