Leading in an Age of Permanent Whitewater

We live in an ever-changing world, and our work as leaders involves creating both a shared vision to help our employees move forward and an environment of reassurance and stability in times of turbulence. Whether change comes in response to a crisis or as part of an opportunity to grow or evolve, it can still cause feelings of anxiety and uncertainty for our teams.
