The conversations leaders should be having now to prepare for tough times

While it’s crucial to remain flexible and adaptable in response to unforeseen circumstances, starting conversations now to achieve clarity and alignment better equips us to tackle upcoming challenges.   

When challenges loom, it can be tempting to wait for the storm to hit before taking action. After all, we’re not exactly sure what will happen or how it will affect our teams. We only know that tough times are coming. Whether it’s budget constraints, environmental shifts, skills shortages, industry transitions, or regulatory hurdles, businesses face multitudes of pressure.
