Our business environments have since the turn of the century been marked with a string of crises. They differed greatly one from another, both in causes and in their implications for the companies in different parts across the world. Some of the companies fell victim to those crises, while others thrived.
While no recipes from the past can be taken as assurance for future success, facing another period of uncertainty leaders should use every opportunity to consider how to improve their own performance and come to reach better outcomes for their companies. Speaking to those leaders, who have proven their ability to lead through adversity, as well as discussing what the future may look like, adds valuable insights to such considerations.
