Reluctance: Unwillingness to do something or hesitancy in taking some action. The epitome of hiring 1st 1/4 of ’09 business!

My sister who lives in NYC is a lawyer on Wall St and we were discussing how difficult it was to get management to get projects under way or funding approved because of the uncertainty.

This is so true in our local economy where companies are in need of talents/enhancements but it simply is not happening.

A close friend of mine who is in the communications/ PR business has gone through the painful process of going through a job search, having applied to numerous positions only to discover that the job was being downgraded, not adequately funded or cancelled due to the overall uncertain business environment.

This isn’t to say that things may improve or get worse; I have heard many indicators that point to both scenarios.

Have you encountered this vacillation of need but inability to act in your organizations?
