The leaders of tomorrow will need to predict, prepare and position their organisations and businesses for ongoing rapid change and response to a range of crises to future-proof their business.  Crises can come in many different forms ranging from small internal skirmishes to global pandemics. In call cases time is at a premium and leaders need to deliver steadfast and authentic performances in the face of uncertainty, media scrutiny and nervous investors. The cost of failure and the potential damage to reputation is high. Clear and regular communication, access to high quality information from credible sources and the ability to make rapid decisions are all essential to success when leading through a crisis.
