    Adversity Introduces Us to Ourselves

    9:54 PM PDT, May 30, 2008, updated at 5:22 PM PDT, May 31, 2008
    The economy is in a foul mood, and it's not being nice to anyone.  You can be an eighty-year old banking icon or high-tech startup with ink still wet on the incorporation papers, and this market is going to mess with you.  In the last three phone calls with clients I have heard stories about layoffs of hundreds of middle managers, declining sales in retail stores, and no upward mobility in the firm "for the first time in our history." And on all these calls, I have been asked if I might share some thoughts about what leaders can do in times like these to keep people engaged and inspired.

    The calls bring to mind a comment made by John McDonnell, former CEO of McDonnell Douglas, when that company was going through its struggles before eventually merging with Boeing. "Adversity introduces you to yourself," he said, reflecting upon what that struggle had brought for him.  And another thought from Randy Melville whom we interviewed when he was with Pepsi.  Quoting his Princeton University basketball coach, Pete Carril, Randy said, "Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it."  Challenges, difficulties, setbacks, adversities…they are all familiar sights on the leadership landscape. And one of the things that they cause us to do is to come face-to-face with ourselves. They are a rather harsh way of reminding us of what's important to us, what we value, and where we want to go.

    Leaders are no strangers to challenges. In fact, exemplary leaders thrive on them. Here are a few tips on what you can do as a leader to enable others to learn to thrive during adverse times. Many are drawn from our own research, but another important resource is Resilience at Work by Salvatore R. Maddi and Deborah M. Khoshaba.

    1.    Clarify what you value most. Randy Pausch, the professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University who is dying of pancreatic cancer and whose Last Lecture video (and now #1 bestselling book) struck a chord with millions around the world, has perhaps the best mantra for times like these. "The brick walls are there for a reason," he says. "They're not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something."  It's important for leaders to always be clear about values and visions, beliefs and aspirations, but challenging times require being especially clear. Take the time to reassess what's important, where you are headed, and "how badly you want something."

    2.    Fully commit to what's important. Exemplary leaders know that change warrants their full attention, imagination and effort. There's no holding back when the situation is dire. Elaine Fortier, at the time vice president of HR at New Focus, when talking about the downturn in her industry, “We all have to ask ourselves, ‘How do I go to work today and do something that will move the enterprise forward and at the same time move myself forward?'"  What important shared values and beliefs can you emphasize to keep people engaged? Keep reminding folks of what makes their work meaningful and significant and of the exciting future you all aspire to achieve together.

    3.    Embrace the challenge.  Exemplary leaders view challenge as opportunity and not as threat. Change always opens up all kinds of new and exciting possibilities for the future. What are those exciting possibilities? What are some innovative solutions that you can explore? How can we go about searching for new and innovative solutions that might lead us out of this situation? How can we make this an engaging learning experience?

    4.    Paint the big picture. Every setback, hardship, downturn, or challenge plays out in a larger context. What's the bigger picture here? How can you help others to understand what's happening in the environment and how it is affecting your business? How can you educate others about the broader context?

    5.    Engage others.  A lot of people are affected by change; it's not just you and your group. You are by no means alone. Who else is being impacted? How can you and your team members engage with them? And also remember that even just having one supportive, stable relationship is a crucial condition for transcending adversity. Social connection and social intimacy are necessary fo
