Since recessions are a natural part of the economy’s ups and downs, the question isn’t if we’ll go into a recession; it’s when. And while there’s no way to fully “recession-proof” your business, there are plenty of things you can do to prepare as a business and as a leader. In part one of this conversation, we begin to talk through three principles and ten actions that will help you better prepare your team and yourself for periods of recession. 


  • It’s not always possible to “recession-proof your business,” but you can prepare (0:43)
  • Good leaders respond to crisis, great leaders prepare for it (4:46)
  • Luck is when preparation meets opportunity (7:29)
  • You can’t be strategic if you’re just trying to survive (9:05)
  • There are ten actions that you can focus on to prepare for recession (13:27)
  • 1. Get your house in order (13:58)
  • 2. Reinforce, amplify, and publicize culture (20:42)
  • 3. Understand and minimize risk (26:35)
  • 4. Consistently assess the landscape of reality (31:37)
  • 5. Play the role of narrator (36:14)
  • Check back for part 2 where we’ll discuss the final five actions (41:41)
  • Lead from a spirit of love, power, and self-control, not fear (42:25)
