How to Lead When the Conditions for Success Suddenly Disappear
"In today's workplace, uncertainty has become the norm. Economic headwinds and a volatile stock market have been prompting companies to slash or reallocate budgets mid-course. Generative AI and other forms of automation are reshaping jobs, workflows, and enterprise priorities at a pace few leaders anticipated. At the same time, the constant drive for productivity and rapid technological advancement leaves organizations stretched thin, demanding more with fewer resources, tighter timelines, and heightened scrutiny from boards and investors."

Economic headwinds and stock-market volatility cause companies to cut or reallocate budgets unexpectedly, creating planning instability. Generative AI and other automation technologies are rapidly changing job roles, workflows, and organizational priorities at an accelerated pace. The continuous push for higher productivity and fast technological adoption forces organizations to operate with fewer resources, compressed timelines, and intensified oversight. Boards and investors apply greater scrutiny, heightening pressure on leaders to deliver results despite constrained capacity. Consequences include stretched teams, shifting strategic focus, and the need for adaptable budgeting, workforce planning, and risk management.
