In today’s landscape of relentless change, with restructuring, rapid innovation, and unrelenting pace, leadership can feel more isolating than ever. Amid constant change, even the most successful leaders may question their abilities. But true confidence isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about staying composed, making informed decisions, and adapting with agility during pivotal transitions.  Great leaders think beyond short-term emotional reactions, using uncertainty as a catalyst to reset, challenge assumptions, and develop new strategies. Those who plan for multiple outcomes and foster resilience turn obstacles into opportunities.
