  • Straight Thoughts, Straight Talk "Serving Andersen Alumni Worldwide"
    Official Newsletter of the Andersen Alumni Association Straight Thoughts, Straight Talk "Serving Andersen Alumni Worldwide" Apr. 2020 Vol.13 No.2 Editorial So here we are, four weeks in the Great Corona shutdown. As business leaders we are faced with yet another “once in a lifetime” economic crisis. These crises seem to be coming with alarming regularity. The silver lining of working through these events is you gain experience and can develop a playbook on how to execute. This is my third crisis that seemed unprecedented at the time; 9-11, The Great Recession and now the Corona virus pandemic. I learned a lot from the prior events. I learned the importance of cash and liquidity. I learned how to shed costs at an alarming rate. I even learned how to look for opportunity in the midst of chaos. However, there is one action that I almost took for granted but has proven to be one of the most important, if not critical, actions to prepare the company for the post crisis environment. That one item is culture management. I would argue that an extreme crisis is the ultimate test of company’s culture. It is easy to justify all kinds of actions in a desperate attempt to save the company. While many of those actions are necessary, you can do it within the context of your company’s culture. Let me be clear, I am coming from a place of companies with strong, employee centric cultures. You may very well have a different culture. In any event, while you may not be looking for one more thing to do, now is the perfect time to change your culture or reinforce the one you have already developed.
