This image from the fabulous team at Alive With Ideas jumped out at me this week… business as unusual.That’s exactly it. We are operating in unusual times. I don’t know about you, but the word unprecedented is jarring now, it has been overused.
I’ve found myself writing extraordinary, unusual, unknown, unsettling, frustrating, worrying – the list goes on.Yes it’s unprecedented, but I encourage you to think about the emotions and feelings your employees are displaying and reflect that in your writing (ideally after listening to your employees to know how they’re feeling and reflecting that back).
Unprecedented feels cold and detached, which is the opposite of how we need to be right now.
