Optimism

Great leaders don’t stall in grief—they lead their way through it straight into acceptance and hope.

In a downturn, the most important role of a leader is to fill in the gaps - the gaps in confidence, courage, clarity, and commitment.

Leadership during uncertainty isn’t just about managing immediate fires. It’s about constantly asking: “What world will emerge next—and how do we lead it?

History favors the decisive, and those who move at the speed demanded by fast-changing circumstances.
