Find the Silver Lining, with Steve Farber

Published: July 15, 2020, 8 a.m.

Find the silver lining no matter what crisis you are in. Listen to this podcast with Steve Farber and find the silver lining.

As I was mapping out and thinking through this episode \u2014 I wanted to be sure the content would be super helpful as you continue to find the silver lining that COVID has created for all of us.

Because what\u2019s especially challenging about COVID actually isn\u2019t just the uncertainty \u2014 it\u2019s that the uncertainty\u2026is a continuously moving target.

We\u2019ve all seen so much ebb and flow to what is taking place \u2014 and because of that \u2014 your team, your clients, your audience, your vendors\u2026all of your stakeholders\u2026are looking for guidance. And\u2026dare I say \u2014 they\u2019re also looking for leadership. In fact \u2014 some are desperate for it.

Because of that \u2014 I invited bestseller author and leadership expert, Steve Farber to come back for an encore interview.

Steve and I are going to focus this conversation around how his Extreme Leadership principles can help you and your team navigate your way through COVID \u2014 or any crisis for that matter \u2014 and come roaring out the other side.

And what I love about Steve is he asks the tough questions \u2014 and those questions are asked out of love \u2014 but they also might make us squirm a bit in our seats.

And sometimes getting uncomfortable is the point.

Because here\u2019s the reality, Onward Nation.

The data is clear\u2026if you and your team double down and make progressive decisions\u2026if you invest in the right areas while ensuring your operating as efficiently as possible\u2026you will find the silver lining to COVID and you will come roaring out of this recession just like other companies have done after the last 6 recessions.

The silver linings are there \u2014 IF \u2014 we\u2019re brave enough to look for them and courageous enough to step into them. All of which requires Extreme Leadership from you as the business owner.
