Leadership Shift #2: Dealing with Unexpected Situations

The second of The Three Big Shifts Every Leader Needs to Make that defines success for today's leaders involves how we evaluate unexpected situations that are now so much more common.

We also need to accept that we no longer have the answers. I know that is a tough admission for leaders to make, but let’s be honest: we can’t even see around the corner to what tomorrow may bring, never mind the next quarter.
