Imagine you’ve just landed a promotion at the organization where you have always dreamed of working – you’ve truly made it. You’re riding high in your career, you have a warm and loving family and you live in the home of your dreams. Doesn’t get much better than this, does it? But then, as sometimes happens in life, you’re thrown a curve ball. And not just any curve ball, but one that could perhaps more aptly be defined as a wrecking ball. Your loving spouse is suddenly gone. And you’re left to pick up the pieces and somehow continue working to maintain your career success while raising your children (now teenagers) on your own. Or, consider another scenario. Once again, you’ve made it to the top of your career. This time, you’re CEO of a major company. You’re riding high, loving family, dream home, the works. But then, again, as sometimes happens in life, yet another wrecking ball appears. A global financial crisis hits and you’re forced to file for chapter 11 bankruptcy – as CEO, you must publicly make the announcement to your shareholders. What do you do next?
