If people lack hope, they simply give up. In business this means that people stop trying, they lose creativity or potentially leave your organisation. This is the very last thing you need when you are trying to navigate difficult times and create sustainable growth.

When you are passionate about a brand, you are also committed to it. Those organizations with strong brands are the ones that will better weather the market turmoil and stormy seas of change; they have both customers and staff who are passionate about the brand. During tough times the strength and integrity of the brand are especially critical. It determines whether customers and people stay with you even during periods of change and downturn. We call this “loyalty elasticity.”
