Leading in Downturn: People in Stressful Times People become “swampy”: They close down They disbelieve Get afraid Need more explanation Get frustrated easily Many slow down because they are cautious The natural personality of a workforce and its communications styles shifts towards more: –Reserved –Skeptical –Emotional –Directive –Deliberate Summary: In hard times people close down, project what they are feeling in different ways. They can appear sullen, angry, and defensive. Stories about what’s really happening spread quickly and it’s reinforced by co-workers, friends, and families.
