Creating a Vision Story on the Hot Mess Hotline: Listen to Episode 3 Now!

Jul 2, 2020 | COVID-19 Blogs, Hot Mess Hotline Podcast

Tune in today to listen to Episode 3 of the Hot Mess Hotline!

This season, I’ll be talking about why change feels like an emotional rollercoaster and why you’ll still need to be talking about COVID-19 for another 2 years after all the disruption it caused. I’ll be sharing client experiences, how-to advice from my work in change management, and a great conversation with Doug Miller, the CEO of Brightworks, on how businesses can better prepare for the future.

Episode 3 is all about creating your vision STORY, not just your vision statement, and why and how to communicate that vision. I’ll be sharing a 7x7x7 strategy for communication (and you can find a great printable version in the Season 1 Toolkit below!)

Or you can listen to the entire season now.

With turnover and retention being very painful and expensive problems (especially right now!), leaders need every tool at their disposal to help the right people stay. Onboarding is an incredibly powerful tool and we have the stats to back it up!!

Plus it’s not really about the expense, it’s about welcoming people into your culture, showing them a good time, giving them the tools and information to be successful, connecting them to their colleagues, and demonstrating that you want them to be successful in their role.

Hot Messes Make You a Stronger Leader with Jerry Jones

Stronger leaders are made through multiple hot messes. Jerry Jones, former president of Cannon IV, shares his decisionmaking, sleepless nights, and strategy pivots during some tumultuous times. In this Hot Mess Hotline episode, he shares how 50% of their revenue evaporated in 90 days because of a supplier’s switch in sales strategy.

This episode is powerful for those leaders who feel fatigued by change or have teams who are complaining about too much change. “Why can’t things just go back to normal?” When change is forced upon your team because of external factors, there is no going back to normal. There’s a new reality which forces new ways of working and new needed results.
