Are you prepared for sudden changes to your executive team?
When you’ve laid out exactly what you need to do for the year, and have your team 100% on mission

No doubt you’ll have high hopes for everything you plan to achieve for the year, but what if something unexpected happens… one of your key executives suddenly hands in their notice.
This can happen at any time, to any business. There is often a plethora of perfectly good reasons why a ‘happy’ employee might decide to move on; an improved salary or perhaps more flexible hours that fit into their lifestyle better. It can be that they’ve been headhunted for a more senior position, or maybe they just feel that their current career has run its course so they want to try something completely different.
Knowing it’s unavoidable doesn’t help you with the crisis though, it’s just one of the multitude of challenges you already face in your business. We’re sure, but it can come as a bit of a shock, and seriously put a real spanner in the works.
