Fight or flight - our inborn, "pre-wired" response for dealing with dangerous situations. This neurological response protects us from any perceived threat. But this crazy economy has people so afraid that they can't muster up a fight or a flight.
 
And so we now have a population that has taken on another response: freeze. People seem paralyzed, waiting to see what the economy will do, waiting for their phone to ring, waiting to see what their bosses and clients will do, waiting for something to happen - good or bad.
 
Working with leaders in corporate America has never felt more like the movie The Sixth Sense. I feel like that little boy who sees dead people. I see people shuffling down hallways like walking zombies. And once in a while I hear someone's name called over a loud speaker and a wide-eyed man will rise from the cubes and head to his boss' office in his own rendition of Dead Man Walking.
 
In this issue of Moxie Moments we look at ways you can unfreeze yourself and your people.
