00:05 Managing employees through a corporate crisis is one of the biggest career challenges you can face. Sudden change, uncertainty, and anxiety about the future can take a toll on productivity AND morale.

00:40 Keeping your team motivated during tough times is no easy task. But strong leadership, good communication, and empathy can make all the difference.

00:54 First, lead by example. Your team will follow your cues, so remain calm and upbeat. Encourage employees to continue to do their best work.

01:14 Second, communicate. Your communication skills as a manager are never more important than when the going is rough.

01:47 Have you heard the adage that talking is silver, and listening is gold? Our third tip is to remember that being a good listener is every bit as important as sharing information.

02:34 Fourth, don’t hesitate to ask your employees to help with the crisis. Have teams brainstorm solutions to different problems.

02:55 Which leads us directly to our last tip: Acknowledge hard work and jobs well done. Employees who go above and beyond during times of adversity should be publicly recognized, and rewarded monetarily, if possible.

03:14 Setbacks and corporate crises are an unfortunate part of the business landscape. They are unpredictable and certainly not pleasant.
