Leading Breakthrough Strategy in Volatile Times with Rebecca Homkes

Episode notes

How can leaders turn uncertainty, which can feel like fear, into an opportunity for growth? In this episode, Kevin sits down with Dr. Rebecca Homkes to explore why volatile times require a different approach to strategy. Rebecca explains that uncertainty is not automatically bad; it is simply a set of future events that may or may not occur. Leaders have a responsibility to help their teams reframe it as a chance to learn and grow faster. Kevin and Rebecca discuss why traditional strategy tools often assume too much certainty, how language and meeting rhythms can unintentionally push teams into protection mode, and why asking "has the situation changed?" is more useful than simply asking whether we are on track. They also explore the importance of moving from survival mode to reset mode, clarifying your right to win, and recognizing that a growth mandate is also a change mandate.
