Only 26% of CEO’s polled (a whopping 255 of a zillion out there), say they are optimistic about our economy. However, these same CEO’s report expected growth for their companies in 08 (77%), and 47% are predicting double digit growth. In addition, 62% are expecting to add to employment rosters.
If double-digit growth is what economy-negative sentiments results in, then I’m going negative! I would understand “cautiously optimistic” but leaders of companies need to remain upbeat. If the captains of industry start hand-wringing, and sweating the brow, the trickle-down effect can be quite compounding.
So leaders, remain positive about our economy. White it’s not all “pie in the sky” it also is not doom and gloom. It is up to us, as leaders, CEO’s, Presidents and the like to show the people that work with us, that we expect positive things to happen.
