Here’s how you, as a leader, can help make your company future-
ready:

• Be decisive and unsentimental about your corporate
  portfolio. Too often, leaders keep businesses for historical or
  sentimental reasons. To build a successful future, your focus
  can’t be on the past.
• Be experimental and ambitious, pushing for
  breakthrough innovation, rethinking global supply chains,
  improving sustainability, and integrating technology. AI and
  other advancements must be central, but it’s the mindset
  here that matters—expansive thinking and a readiness for
  change.
• Be prudent with capital and liquidity requirements.
  Evaluate your company’s funding needs and run risk models
  continuously. Ensure there’s a financial cushion for any
  bumps in the road so you can shape—rather than be a victim
  of—future events.
• Be patient as you build teams and manage talent. Your top
  priority is recruiting, developing, and retaining strong
  people. Every business is a people’s business, so the quality
  of your team is the difference between top performance and
  mediocrity.
• Be persistent, ready to take on the obstacles to come. It’s
  the only way you can achieve any of the four points above.
