In an ever-changing business world, managing in turbulent times is a strategic necessity. Technological advances, economic crises and international upheavals can upset the balance in any organization. “When difficulties arise, employees at all levels want honest answers, bold ideas and decisive plans. They want to trust company leadership to chart a course into the future instead of allowing the business to flounder in the face of change,” writes Kevin O’Neill in a Forbes article entitled Why Building Trust Matters In A Turbulent Economy. Knowing how to manage in such circumstances means adapting to new realities, dodging obstacles and seizing opportunities.
