The Power of Leadership in Uncertain Times
In moments of disruption, organizations have a choice
Merely weather the storm—or seize the opportunity to evolve, adapt, and emerge stronger.
When uncertainty hits, it doesn’t just stay outside the organization. It creeps inside—into how leaders lead, how teams perform, and how organizations hold it together when nothing feels stable. Leaders are expected to move fast and stay decisive—without a playbook. Teams are expected to deliver more—with less clarity, less connection, and fewer resources.
Join three bestselling authors Amy Edmondson, Stephen M. R. Covey, and Liz Wiseman for a high-stakes conversation about the hidden costs of uncertainty—and how today’s best leaders are breaking through to be change agents during times of disruption.
During the discussion, this panel of experts will explore the three barriers no leader can afford to ignore:
The Leadership Crisis: Why outdated leadership models are taxing performance and growth—and what leaders must do now to adapt.
The Engagement Recession: How exhaustion, disconnection, and cultures of caution are negatively impacting performance and morale—and how leaders can reignite commitment and resilience.
The Adaptability Dilemma: How over-analysis, misalignment, and chronic rigidity are stalling performance—and how great leaders move fast, build trust, and create clarity in times of disruption.
Register now to learn how you and your leaders can act differently and thrive during uncertain times.
