Poweromics - Workers paying the price

With the world in crisis, and with the purchase of high cost discretionary spend items being increasingly deferred, it's not a great time for car manufacturers ... and when companies like Toyota are finding things tough, it comes as no surprise that others like General Motors have had to seek massive government bail-outs and yet still appear to be heading for bankruptcy.  

We've been here before, and we will see it many times more too ... e.g. remember Woolworths - once a household name in the UK, announcing 27,000 job losses and resigning thousands of hard-working & loyal front line staff to the dole queue ...  it was a failure of 'leadership and management', but it's always the hard-working front-line staff that pay the price ... 

Ignorance is not bliss, as it allows Poweromics to thrive. Ignoromics is arguably just as much to blame as Poweromics ... so it is now the responsibility of all staff to listen, learn and take the 'lead' ... and to not make the mistake of assuming 'current leaders' will do this for them ... nothing else will do, nothing else will work ... as survival is no longer a given and more & more people are starting to realise this ...

Leadership and Management have both changed radically, and traditional 'leaders' are not necessarily going to be the 'future' leaders ...
