Disruption isn’t an occasional hurdle; it’s the new normal. According to McKinsey research, 84 percent of leaders report feeling underprepared for future disruptions, with geopolitical tensions topping the list of concerns. Leaders today are called to steer through shifting trade policies, international conflict, and internal organizational pressures—all while keeping their people engaged and their strategies on track. McKinsey’s Ida Kristensen and coauthors outline four dimensions of resilience that can help organizations stay grounded and agile when the path ahead is unclear:
- Financial
- Operational
- Organizational
- External
By intentionally developing resilience in these areas, leaders can turn uncertainty into an advantage, emerging not just intact, but stronger, more agile, and ready to seize new opportunities. Explore our latest insights on how to focus, perform, and lead effectively when the future feels anything but certain.
