If COVID-19 has taught us anything, it's that things completely outside our business, industry, or community can have a massive impact on us - and that will continue for a long time to come. It's your responsibility as a leader to understand and anticipate those external pressures - so you can give your people more clarity and confidence.

The Top Four Business Challenges for 2022

Don’t be constrained by the past when setting course for the future

There’s a common myth that experienced business leaders are dinosaurs from a bygone era, so “of course” it’s inevitable they will get disrupted by younger, more diverse, more tech-savvy, “new” thinkers. Or so the story goes. But it’s not true. There are many experienced, established leaders who do have the right mindset to lead now, and are more than willing to adapt to the new way of doing business. The problem isn’t their intent; it’s their assumed competence. It’s not that they don’t know a lot (they do); it’s just that some of those things aren’t true anymore. They used to be true, so it’s natural to believe they are still true. There’s no reason you can’t be successful in the future, but it might mean letting go of some of your old beliefs. Learn from the past if it’s serving you to build for the future, but otherwise let it go. https://gihanperera.com

A Matter of Trust

You can't give them certainty, but you can help them find clarity

In uncertainty and chaos, your people feel unsettled and insecure. You can’t promise them certainty and safety – nobody can – but you can give them greater clarity.In this episode of the Fit For The Future podcast, we explore the three essential parts of creating clarity: <ol><li>Reality (What is): The world has changed, and the first step is to accept that new reality so you can understand how it operates now (and will operate in the future).</li><li>Possibility (What could be):&nbsp;The people who thrive in change are the possibility thinkers, who look at the big picture and see opportunities created by the change.</li><li>Priority (What matters):&nbsp;It’s impossible to do everything that’s possible, so become clear about which things to focus on and which you can safely ignore or defer.</li></ol>
