They adapted to the war. Now it's time to implement new business ideas. I tell you how to do it

The biggest mistake of business leaders is to expect that everything will be as before. Now-it is time to look for business growth opportunities for half a year of the war Ukrainian business has passed all stages of crisis, uncertainty, struggle for survival. Now the stage of adaptation to new realities and finding opportunities for growth. The role of the business leader in this process is very important. Managers need to decide decisively and not be afraid of change.

Not only in order not to lose profit, but to grow. What is the leader to take care of business in war? Adaptation of a business model and new directions of uncertainty, which was in the first weeks of war, must remain in the past. On February 24, 2022, many business executives have the idea that you need to wait. But the war will not end tomorrow. And it is necessary to adapt to new realities, to transfer yourself to military rails. Now there is at that time for the development of new areas.

Do not be afraid to close those areas that have no prospects. Just let go. The biggest mistake is to expect everything as before. This is a very dangerous opinion. The changes are inevitable, you need to take the present and be ready to change in the future. Give up unpromising projects decisively. Another important thing is the realization of ideas that you believe as an entrepreneur. Yes, it is very important to develop promising directions, those that make a profit.

But owners or CEOs who are looking at their business models should think about what brings them pleasure in their field of activity. Now is the time to realize the new ideas you have thought about. How to implement changes in practice I advise everyone a model I use myself. It is necessary to divide your leadership responsibilities into three blocks by periods of their implementation: research, conduct and delegation.

Initially, the leader explores new opportunities: ways to enter markets, new products. When a strategy is formed in some way, it must be taken into work and lead - lead. And when the strategy "grew" and turned into a full direction, it can be delegated to free up space for doing something new. From practice - young CEOs are too fond of research and do not have time to pass it on to delegation. This takes away their energy. And at that time, the team that can do this work is idle.

Or, on the contrary, CEOs of large companies are so fond of conduct and delegation that they do not investigate anything, do not introduce innovation. And research and implementation of a new one is the same accessories that will help business develop under unstable conditions. Changes in the team as an inevitable step when you already have a new development plan, you need to take care of the next step-people who will implement this business model.

Apparently, all Ukrainian companies have workers on Remout. Managers need to accept the fact that it will not change in the near future. It is important for your HR team to pay special attention to such people about planning their career. It is important to realize that all your workers who are now abroad cannot be as satisfied with working conditions as before the war.

For example, someone moved to a country with a more expensive standard of living, and it is not fully satisfied with the Ukrainian hryvnia salary. It is important to prioritize here, depending on the value of the employee for the company. Whom you are ready to keep, whatever it costs. For example, find lawyers who will help a person to work legally for a Ukrainian company while in the jurisdiction of another country. Whom you are ready to keep temporarily.

That is, you understand that a person plans to find a job abroad over time and you will have to look for a replacement. And the third option - you say goodbye to the employee immediately. Situations with the team do not need to develop arbitrarily. Your employees have their own needs and future work vision. Coordinate your plans with them. After all, employees expect a clear message from the employer: either I am a super important thing for you and I do not see the value in me.

People under current conditions need more attention. The manager should accept the fact that the composition of employees will change will be updated. But thanks to good managerial traits, this process of people's losses can be made environmental in terms of terms. It is important to communicate with employees to report their plans and you are ready for changes in personnel. To be able to find a replacement and pass the necessary knowledge on time.

It is important to take care of yourself as a leader to have energy to have energy for business development and a support for the team. I offer a comprehensive balance model: body/business/meanings/contacts. Body. It is important to understand that first of all you have to take care of yourself and then others. If you do not restore your own resource, the forces will end up quickly. Take care of your own regime: balanced nutrition, full sleep, physical activity.

Do not take care of yourself as selfishness, it's your work. After all, without a sustainable leader, business will not be successful. Work. To stay in the resource, continue to do important things to do. Be where you can benefit. And do not devalue your activities during the war. People who are not involved in the army also help: pay taxes, start currency in the country, create new jobs. The meaning. Here I would like to go back to talk about the implementation of new ideas.

This can be not only a business development, but also a new meaning for its manager. The implementation of your inner startup can be the key to the resource state. Contacts. I often hear customers that they give up many things because of feelings of guilt. For example, going with friends to a restaurant during the war is inappropriate. And this is already a refusal not only to entertain, but to such an important aspect as contacts.

Previously, these meetings were pleased, gave the opportunity to communicate, share, complain. I am motivated by communicating with our military from the front. They are optimistic and say that we, those in the rear, should be stable in the long run. And for this you need to take care of yourself and afford to have fun. Everything will be good if you want it in the new realities to be a stoic stomach from what you have accumulated: team, assets, business models.
