We are again joined by Jodi McCall, Director of Quality. In this personal discussion, Kevin Black of Black Market leadership and Jodi discuss the real of impact of the “Fog of War” in real life. Although a military concept, it is very applicable to business. As the key example, Jodi explains her recent trials with the Fog of War as she searched for employment after being laid off from a two-decade employment from a Fortune 500 company. Kevin asks her about the experience of being let go, and how she successfully pursued new employment, despite being surrounded by uncertainty of the times.
Along the way Kevin identifies many elements of the Fog of War during the job search:
• The nature of the Fog of War and what it means
• How different behaviors respond to it
• How to find real meaning in your work, mitigating the effects of the Fog of War
• How exactly to overcome it when seeking new employment!
If you are someone who has been personally affected by the turbulent economy and is searching for a new job, this is an episode that you don’t want to miss!
