✅ Three Ways to lead with Resilience
1. Zoom Out
→ Don’t make strategic moves from today’s headlines
→ Revisit your 3-year vision—are your decisions still aligned?
2. Find Historical Anchors
→ Share past recovery stories with your team
→ Remind them: we’ve done hard things before
3. Stay Disciplined
→ Keep your rituals, your planning rhythm, your review cadence
→ Chaos outside should never create chaos inside
