It’s crisis, it’s crisis, woeoeoeoe it’s crisis. Tell it to your friends and lets create this big fear so we don’t have to blaim ourselves!

NOT!

Great things happened the past weeks:

• “the market requires leaders in times of crisis, not managers” (Trends)
• pink is in again
• Viva La Vida wins a Grammy
• Piet Huysentruyt now also sells pots and pans

The past weeks I’ve visited a lot of customers and I will be visiting many more in the next weeks and months. Not only in Belgium, but also in Spain and South-Africa. I’m happy to hear the same story of true leaders everywhere:

• Now is the time to invest in strategic things and focus on what’s important
• We have to cut the “fat” out of the company

Most of these leaders have a specific profile:

• they are not really “liked” because they dare to be different
• they have big balls
• they are positive at all times
• they have a flexible mind and are not blocked by fears
• they get power from within and motivate themselves, day after day
• they are not stupid and can handle many parameters at the same time
• they don’t judge, but act

In short: I LIKE THEM!!!

And now for a commercial message: let’s all particpate in the Hercules Trophy this year! Why?

• The people within the company are very strategic, so let’s invest in them
• Teamwork is key and makes the difference these days, so let’s invest in that
• Make people proud to work for your company, they will run the extra mile for you!
• Regroup all the small “incentive and teambuilding”-budgets (=fat) into one and focus on a total experience with a time span of many months and a guaranteed return on investment for everbody
