Question 2 of 4

With the pace of change in your business accelerating, and in a time when anything could happen, how do you deal with the unexpected?

1. A) Try out a strategy that worked for your business in the past
2. B) Respond as quickly as possible to address changes in the marketplace
3. C) Embrace change and build organisational processes that allow you to constantly manage for it

Answer

The best answer is C: While we can’t be certain what the future will look like, we can make our organisations ready for continuing change and transformation. Good leaders respond to what is happening externally by applying a strategy that’s right for the situation and adjusting the organisation’s internal capabilities accordingly. Great leaders are visionaries, inspiring their teams to try something new, and making their organisations fit and ready for any challenge.
