Hey Matthew, Sureshkumar, Barry, Wally, Milan, and Lair, thank you all for your recent comments (sorry for the delay in responding)!
Matthew, “asking why” is indeed one of the best things you could ever do as a leader.
Sureshkumar, thanks for the kind words!
Barry & Wally, thanks for pointing my towards the “no layoff” examples you noted – they are winning those battles, aren’t they?
Milan, thanks too for the kind words.
Lair, I like the idea of porting these concepts over to job seekers – thanks!

Thanks again to all of you, and all the best!
Terry

Your 10 Leadership Battles should be the mantra for job seekers and people in a career transition. The internal battles that job seekers face can be fierce and relentless; especially the “will to succeed or the hope to survive.”
Great eye-opener.

Lincoln Electric is a great example because they had that policy in place for decades. I mentioned them in my post on “Helping your people grow during a downturn.” ( http://blog.threestarleadership.com/2009/02/24/helping-your-people-grow-during-the-downturn.aspx )

Terry – I just read this post 3 times its so damn good! This is not pie in the sky, feel good fluff. There are concrete examples of companies that are knocking it out of the park who’s leaders live and breathe these guidelines.

There was a great NPR story last week about two companies – Lincoln Electric and Hypertherm that have adopted a ‘no-layoff’ model. Concept being that you have these highly trained employees with subject matter expertise. If lower demand means the manufacturing line is slowed, then have those people that know the line best work on a project to redesign the line instead of sending them home. When business picks up, the line will be that much more efficient.

In this one example, leaders of these two firms are demonstrating a focus on people, filtering, trust, humility, a will to succeed, empathy, big picture, ‘we’, engagement and leadership by example.

Thanks again for putting it in our faces.
