In this episode:

Unfortunately, leaders don't get to panic. 

Your team, your family, your employees, and the community are watching you. 

They've relied on you for answers and direction because you are their leader. 

As leaders in our families and businesses, we may not always know the way forward 

I believe it's on us to do four critical things to show leadership in the midst of fear. 

Four Requirements of Leaders in The Midst of Fear

  • CONFIDENCE 

The number one thing that leaders must do in times where there's uncertainty, unrest, adversity, and fear is to remain confident. 

People are looking at you as a leader. 

They are counting on you to make good decisions. They're counting on you to make wise decisions. 

  • CONTINGENCY PLANS 

You can't necessarily live in worst-case scenarios, which I think is one of the problems a lot of people fall into, they think the worst thing is going to happen. 

It's okay to recognize and acknowledge the worst thing that can happen. But you can't live there because you can't get beyond fear. 

  • CAPITALIZE 

Even in times of fear, there's an opportunity to capitalize on areas of opportunity that we may have missed in the past. 

There's an opportunity to capitalize on things we may have put to the side or put on the backburner in the past. 

  • CONTROL THE CONTROLLABLE 

At the end of the day, you can only control the controllable. 

The best way to handle stress, the best way to handle fear, the best way to handle uncertainty is to identify those things that you absolutely control and are in your power, then execute on those things.
