Many clubs today are dealing with a business climate that is not "business as usual." Tough times disrupt productivity and team performance. In the face of this reality, strong club leaders must inspire productive performance and communicate effectively and credibly. They must also evaluate every part of their operations and find every method to streamline the club when membership numbers fall.

 

Successful club leaders must often take a hard look at current processes and make tough decisions to guide their clubs from the current bleak reality to its desired future state. Crisis Planning and swift action must be taken or the club will find itself putting for double bogey.

Labor and Leadership - On a dollar-for-dollar basis, personnel actions are some of the most costly decisions that clubs make. Most experts advise taking a particularly prudent approach to personnel during times of economic hardship. Try to put off new hires if you're under the gun, but don't hesitate to cut loose team members who show no signs of being able to carry their weight.

It's not until times get tight that we realize we've actually created gushers
