Welcome to Beachside Chats, where business strategy meets innovation, and every conversation is a step toward unlocking your full potential. I'm your host, Stephen Webster - strategic growth coach and performance enthusiast. Whether you're a CEO, entrepreneur, or simply someone driven to grow, this is the place for actionable insights and fresh perspectives to help you get 1% better every day. Today, we'll be diving into “Lead Like a Rock, Not a Ripple: Why CEOs Must Stay Calm in Chaos”, so let's dive in.
✅ 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
Quote of the Day:
“In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.” — Sun Tzu
