If we’re not already in a recession, it certainly looks like we’re going to be. We’ve had two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth, which is the traditional definition of a recession. There have been some attempts to redefine that definition, but regardless, we’re either in one or headed towards one. But this isn’t an economics lesson.
On this episode of The Clarity Advisors Show, host Ken Trupke talks about building a recession-proof culture – how to build a workplace and a team where people want to be there, even during hard times and economic challenges.
Ken says it all starts with “why” – defining the core values and then effectively communicating them. He also talks about the importance of doing a daily huddle, creating an attractive company, and being intentional with every step you take.
Episode Highlights:
- Why communication is important for building an intentional culture.
- The power of bringing people together.
- How to get your culture ready for the recession.
