It’s at times like this I wish I was a doctor, a nurse or somebody on the frontline fighting this virus. As I am not qualified for the front line, I am trying to fight it in other ways.
At Broadlake, we have spent the last three to four weeks working with our six Broadlake companies to help the leaders and our 2,500 staff respond to the challenges. I have also been in contact with many entrepreneurs, some whom I mentor and others where our paths have crossed in the past to check in with them and see how they are doing.
It’s such a difficult and uncertain time for all of them. Over these past two weeks, I have gained many insights into myself, my colleagues, our companies, the challenges entrepreneurs are facing and some solutions they are working on.
As I am unable to save lives on the front line, I’ll try to do my bit by sharing these insights that might help entrepreneurs, business leaders and managers cope with some of the stresses they are faced with. It’s not an exhaustive list, but it’s practical and maybe one or two things will work for you.
