Although most companies are making employees redundant, chief executives can cement the loyalty of those who remain by assuring employees that the company has survived difficult times before, maintaining quality rather than cutting corners, and servicing existing customers rather than trying to be all things to all people. CEOs must spend more time with customers and employees. Economic recession can elevate the importance of the finance director’s balance sheet over the marketing manager’s income statement. Managing working capital can easily dominate managing customer relationships. CEOs must counter this. Successful companies do not abandon their marketing strategies in a recession; they adapt them.

Each possesses a different skillset and specializes in one of the two critical areas of expertise you will need.

First, you have to tune out all the bad news. When it comes to the nightly news, the daily newspaper or even the office gang around the water cooler, you need to follow the advice of Nancy Reagan and “just say no.” You can’t possibly have a positive outlook on your personal future if you let yourself get caught up in all the doom and gloom that permeates our news and culture today.
