At work we've gone through something I had hoped I'd never be part of -- outsourcing. I'm one of the lucky ones, I'm staying. I see the business logic behind what's happened, but I'm still getting over the shock of dismantling a team I've spent years building.
As a leader, it's also very difficult to have your people's lives be so uncertain. They've literally gone from being at the top of their game to competing for jobs with our outsourcing supplier. Tough roll of the dice.
This is a great lesson... be ready for anything and watch out for yourself.
