Preparing for Recession Part 1
Since recessions are a natural part of the economy’s ups and downs, the question isn’t if we’ll go into a recession; it’s when. And while there’s no way to fully “recession-proof” your business, there are plenty of things you can do to prepare as a business and as a leader. In part one of this conversation, we begin to talk through three principles and ten actions that will help you better prepare your team and yourself for periods of recession.
