When the pandemic burst on the scene in early 2020, businesses faced dramatic shifts and the importance of strategic agility became critical. To survive, leaders were encouraged to pivot into new markets by developing new business models.

As history has proven, it is necessary to prepare for what is next during unprecedented times. Visionary leaders like Abraham Lincoln, FDR, Winston Churchill, and Nelson Mandela did not simply react to threats, but they looked beyond the horizon. They were guided and their people in turn motivated by their vision for a better future.
