Concurrent crisis over the past 2 years have induced a sense of ambiguity and volatility around the world. The Covid pandemic, the Great Resignation, rising social disruptions, and now the geopolitical crisis; have caught millions of people off guard. An uncertain era of action and reactions of world leaders at multiple fronts are set to have a far reaching impact across all countries and businesses around the globe.
Business leaders and communities are living through the economic harm that has been caused by recurrent challenges, leaving no choice but to battle the crisis by adapting to realities swiftly. Taking the cue from world leaders, business leaders are re-defining leadership amid ongoing crisis; and as leaders prepare their organizations, there seem two distinct groups to evolve – Future Seekers and Continuity Creators. The leaders in the former category believes in a future that is represented by innovation, disruption and growth and the latter category leaders thrives on past experiences for bringing stability through connection and trust in this uncertain world.
Sailing through the current and near future will need elements of both categories of leaders – the unique nature and immediacy of future seekers as well as restoring stability by the continuity creators. Inclining more towards future-seeking elements without continuity may however lead to alienation. And too much continuity without disruption may lead to denial and competitive disadvantage. Both the scenarios are quite evident even in the current Ukraine – Russia crisis situation. Hence, the future can be defined only through the subtle art of balance.
- Business community leaders need to develop a new environment for both future-seeking and continuity-creating leaders to act with a purpose that involves risk mitigation abilities and foresight.
- Skills on adaptation to unpredictable events while addressing immediate, short-term needs in consistency with long-term strategies will play a critical role in coming times.
- Leaders of every function will have to understand investment opportunities to protect and sustain returns in such volatile era.
- Executing newer ways to conduct business, emergency response planning, crisis management, workforce flexibility strategies and adapting to technologies to operate regardless of circumstances is where leaders must focus and prioritize.
