Leading In Turbulent Times

This document provides advice for leaders navigating turbulent times and leading organizational change. It discusses that change is difficult for humans as it involves loss. Leaders must acknowledge people's fears about change while also providing realistic hope. When facing uncontrollable external changes, leaders need to take on an "adult supervision" role by staying calm and focused, accepting responsibility, and prioritizing action over blame. Building commitment to changes requires time to educate people, and if that's not possible, leaders may need to remove strong opponents of change. The document stresses that while change is often needed, organizations also require stability, and leaders should consider what core aspects should not change.
