“Forget about the long term, get operational, fix problems, and bring solutions.” Is this your mantra?
With everything happening in the world today, it's understandable to default to this survival strategy. At the same time, as a strategic partner for management teams, I've seen firsthand how this approach can lead to a cycle of tunnel vision and silo thinking.

The focus on immediate fixes often results in:
- Stuckness: Even C-level executives find themselves mired in basic operational issues.
- Stress and Anxiety: Employees arrive at work burdened by uncertainty and fear.
While this reactive mindset has long been a key strategy in the Western business world, it raises a critical question: Is it still serving us?
Instead of just fixing what's broken, I advocate for navigating change and embracing potential. It’s time to break free from the endless cycle of operational fixes that drain energy and innovation.
Join me in this blogpost series as I share insights and strategies to help you and your teams surf the waves of uncertainty. Let’s shift the focus from mere survival to thriving in today’s complex landscape.
Don't let this crisis go to waste—transform it into an opportunity for growth!
