Leaders are expected to \u201cput out fires\u201d with urgency, while simultaneously offering long-term vision and principled clarity. Clients are describing a need to take a stand on values, yet feel the cost of doing so is rising. The real leadership challenge lies in integrating the two: being responsive without losing depth, and being firm without becoming rigid. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adding to this complexity, we notice that especially in times of difficulty, people tend to reach for strong, directive, even autocratic leadership. It feels like clarity. Yet, the challenges we face are too complex for any one person to hold alone. The \u2018hero\u2019 leader, however talented, is becoming a liability. Instead, collaborative leadership, which invites multiple perspectives and shares decision making, might be more resilient in today&#8217;s turbulent times.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-46273e1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"46273e1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-86260b6\" data-id=\"86260b6\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-49c6c4b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"49c6c4b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><b>2.

When we are under stress, we are simply not at our best; the very empathy and reflection required for leadership are the first functions to be sidelined by our biology.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The real question isn&#8217;t whether there will be urgency.
