Hi.  It’s Ed Oakley.  I woke up this morning with an insight that I’m excited to share with you.
You see there is some good news about this dynamically changing environment that we find ourselves in.  Now good news you say, give me a break!  You’re probably thinking, with all the changes, all the challenges whether they be budget cuts or lay offs or whatever they are, it doesn’t seem like it’s very exciting to me.Well, there is one opportunity that comes with all of this change.  It is your opportunity to really develop, to take your leadership ability to a whole quantum leap, to a whole step function of more effective leadership.  See, the only time you can do that is during these changing times.  If things are just running along nicely and smoothly, perhaps a steady growth, you’re not going to have a lot of opportunities to develop your leadership.The real opportunity is when there is major change going on around you.  So I invite you take the opportunity that is being presented to you right now to take yourself to a level of leadership that, you know what, when things are smooth again, if they ever are, it’ll be easy for you because you are a different whole different level of leadership.  Now, I don’t care how you do it but just realize there is this huge opportunity waiting for you right now.One of the ways is to take advantage of the Leading Change in Difficult Times webinar series that we’re going to be introducing in the next couple of days but that’s not the only way to do it.  Read books, go find other webinars, teleconferences, go to a class, but see this as a tremendous opportunity for you, and at the backside of all this change, there’ll be a new and better you for the effort and energy and investment of time and energy you put in to it now.Do it for you!  I look forward to talking with you again soon.
