  Uncertainty is the word that best captures the thinking of most individuals and organizations these days. People say it’s like working in a fog. Is the recession really over? Will things return to normal? If so, when? If not, what will the new normal be, and how do we succeed in that world? What do 90% of top execs rank as the critical organizational skill needed today – agility. Here are some practical definitions of what they mean by organizational agility:

  
  •    Capacity to identify and capture opportunities more quickly than a rival does
  •    Combining patience and boldness
  •    Being ready to move the moment the fog lifts just enough so the choice is more than a crap shoot, but before things are clear to everyone including competitors.

  Help your leaders and employees understand the new normal in your organization and adapt as leaders and employees to these new realities.
