The Power of Crisis
Monday, October 13th, 2008I heard this phrase “the power of crisis” some weeks ago and it stuck with me, it’s an abstract phrase but it’s so powerful and I think I have finally figured out why I am stuck to this phrase “the power of crisis”. Everywhere you turn you hear the word crisis, in one fashion or another the word crisis is used in conversations taking place across the globe and it’s powerful. The word crisis has the ability to stop you in your tracks and causes you to pay attention. Regardless of what you are talking about you stop and pay attention at the drop of the word crisis, it has the ability to gets and hold your attention.
I would imagine that there isn’t anyone in the workforce that hasn’t been affected by the financial crisis, but those who are looking for work are probably feeling the crisis stronger. Last week one of my associates spoke up in a meeting and said we should all be grateful that we have a job. At the time what she said struck me as powerful but I didn’t know why, today I know it’s because I have a job with a company that I love and a product that I am passionate about. So she was right I am fortunate to have a job helping others find jobs during this time of financial crisis.
