An economic world turned upside down makes it easier to take a fresh look, and this can open the door to making changes that will benefit you and the most important people in your life, now and in the long run. Here's what one of my former students, Deika Morrison, said to me yesterday when I asked her about the leadership silver lining in the cloud of our current economic crisis. She said that this is a unique opportunity to see "if you are achieving what you have identified as important. In an environment of record unemployment, people feel like they are not empowered and have no options." Now, she said, is a chance to discover that "you might have been doing work you really never wanted long-term and therefore you can move on faster, in a more productive manner. It's about changing mindset from depression, in every sense of the word, to opportunity."
