Four Leadership Essentials for Uncertain Times

The past two years have sowed a tremendous amount of uncertainty around the world. Yet, we are reminded that even though the most violent of storms, the     1    willow(柳树)bends but does not break. So, which skills and strategies should you pay attention to so that you and your organization can not only survive but even thrive through these complicated times? Here are 4 strategies you can apply to navigate your business in uncertain times:

Don’t Become Paralyzed by Uncertainty

No one knows what is coming over the next few weeks or months. Yet, you cannot afford to stand     2    in the face of ambiguity. You must be willing to act even without what you consider to be complete information.

Gather the best data available to you and move forward. In the words of Marcus Tullius Cicero, “More is lost by indecision than wrong decision. Indecision is the thief of opportunity. It will steal you blind.”

Adopt a Learner’s Mindset

Start by assessing your abilities honestly with tools, such as leadership self-assessment tests, and     3    which ones you want to work on most. Then, set a plan to create opportunities in which you can learn through direct experience, pushing yourself beyond your     4     zone. This will make you more prepared to face new challenges that you or your organization may encounter on the road.

Accept Life’s Paradoxes

Wise leaders understand that every situation holds positives and negatives, threats and opportunities. As you     5    these contradictions, you will become more resilient.

Ask yourself what you and your company might learn from the current crises. Can you create new products and services that     6    our present circumstances? Can you innovate the way you design and deliver your products and services?

Finally, remember the English proverb, “necessity is the mother of invention.” When faced with difficult situations, we are more likely to create innovative solutions, if we can learn to live with uncertainty, find a(n)     7    footing in the middle of the chaos, and accept life’s paradoxes.

To survive, thrive and profit, organizations must move from disruption to     8    —must evolve to retain and grow their people to ensure a successful talent pipeline-and the most vital organizations will     9    thrive by giving more than they take from the world.

Put simply, this new year demands a more human approach, with a particular eye toward inclusivity and adaptability. This     10    in leaders who can remain optimistic, build flexibility in times of disruption, and deliver business strategies that will create workplaces for both people and organizations to flourish and succeed.

Dealing with customer complaints

While we do our best to provide our customers with top-quality products and service, there are unavoidably occasional complaints. The vast majority of customers who complain have reasonable grounds for doing so and we should be grateful to them: the majority of unhappy customers will not make a complaint to us but will instead make it known to a(n)     1     of ten people, as well as possibly complaining online.

A professional approach

Some     2     complaints can be delivered forcefully. It is a challenge to remain calm in such situations, but this is what we, as staff, must do. It is worth bearing in mind that we shouldn’t turn it into a personal matter: just address the issue at hand. Take a professional approach if a customer gets angry or upset and keep your own emotions in check.

Finding out what’s wrong

Sometimes, you are     3     about what the customer really wants. Listen carefully and attentively to what the customer has to say and let him finish. Sometimes people just want to be heard. Ensure you know the exact nature of the problem and give the customer the     4     that you care and want to know what happened.

Providing solutions

When the customer has given you all the details, be sure to acknowledge the issue. If the customer has not opened an item or the item is faulty (有毛病的), give him a replacement if that is what he     5    . There is no need to have this approved by a manager but note it in the diary in the office and put faulty items in the returns area. However, if the customer demands a refund (退款), you will need to have this processed by management.

In the case of ongoing or more serious complaints, it may be wise to follow up with a phone call or email to make sure the customer is satisfied with the     6    .
