What does the word \u201cfear\u201d mean to you? How often do you experience it? Do you face it head-on, or do you ignore it and let it simmer and grow? We continually speak about courageous leadership; the flip side of that is leading and living in panic. We saw this on a social media page:<\/p>\n

To lead is difficult when you\u2019re a follower of fear.
\n\u2013T.A. Sachs<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you\u2019re experiencing fear in the workplace, chances are you\u2019re not alone. It\u2019s a time of uncertainty and a time for change. We\u2019re a quick paced society with little time to process and manage what\u2019s happening, but that\u2019s exactly what we must do.<\/p>\n

If something does not feel right, do you take the time to acknowledge your feelings and make a conscious effort to get your arms around that feeling and take control?<\/p>\n

Fear is certainly not new, and the quotes below span generations and provide inspiration:<\/p>\n

Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
\n\u2013Marie Curie<\/p>\n

To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
\n\u2013Bertrand Russell<\/p>\n

I have learned over the years that when one\u2019s mind is made up, this diminishes fear.
\n\u2013Rosa Parks<\/p>\n

Many of our fears are tissue-paper-thin, and a single courageous step would carry us clear through them.
\n\u2013Brendan Francis<\/p>\n

There are times when fear is good. It must keep its watchful place at the heart\u2019s controls.
\n\u2013Aeschylus<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tips For Leading Through Fear<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Create an environment that has open lines of communication<\/li>\n
  • Take a pulse of what\u2019s happening around you; add 5 minutes to your staff meeting agenda to ask team members what they\u2019re feeling<\/li>\n
  • Make sure all changes are discussed with impacts clearly stated; share the \u201cwhy\u201d whenever possible<\/li>\n
  • Be proactive rather than reactive; share what you can in advance of impacts being felt<\/li>\n
  • Restate goals and priorities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    By addressing and managing panic, stress levels will be reduced, and a sense of stability in the workplace will be allowed to grow.<\/p>\n
