Working in Uncertain Times

Being productive during change and restructure

Certainty is a rare thing. Restructures, short-term contracts, difficult economic conditions and political instability lead to indecision and paralysis if not embraced head-on. Learn to accept the challenge of uncertainty by adopting a can-do positive mindset and by being clear about your sense of purpose.

Summary of learning messages

• Maintain a sense of purpose
  Uncertainty is nothing new. So focus on what you can do and can control

• Gather information and evaluate your options
  Base your decisions on knowledge or reasonable assumptions

• Don't be paralysed by uncertainty
  Taking action and learning from the results is preferable to waiting for something to happen.
