A recent article by McKinsey & Company states, “Although corporate decision makers cannot plan for every potential risk, we examined some ways they can prepare for extraordinary risks, determine which protections are worth the investment, and position themselves for better resiliency.”
Business leaders have been tasked to make impossible decisions, choosing between bad and worse. Resilience is the courage to get up when those decisions don’t go as planned.
2 Corinthians 4:8-9 says, “We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.”
In 2020, many leaders were knocked down. But by God’s grace, most of these leaders have not been destroyed. Instead, they have gained resilience along the way. Resilience to get up, again.
