Leadership

“You sound like a cat in a vacuum cleaner. Dreadful.”

There’s no doubt that it’s harder than ever to keep a business afloat in these lean times that we live in. However, a report like this should be a wake up call to any CEO or top level manager to head on back down to the floor and talk to the workforce.

Not all epidemics however, are life threatening or based on deadly airborne viruses. The term ‘epidemic’ can also be used to describe rapid, extensive development, without a festering lesion or hemorrhagic rash in sight. So, surely then in business, an epidemic could be a hugely positive thing. As a manager, wouldn’t you want to be part of an epidemic of employee motivation for example?
