Since the result of this summer’s referendum we’ve experienced several months of political turmoil. There’s been much speculation as to what will happen to the UK economy once we leave the EU.

At a high level the financial markets have been jittery and the value of Sterling has decreased against other major currencies.

Managers and leaders at all levels are worried about a period of uncertainty and managing change.

So what’s new?  When wasn’t that the case?

If you consider yourself a good leader your job is to deal with the ‘here and now’, as well as the future.

The core of strategic leadership is understanding the environment you’re working in and planning for the changes that you want.

Sure, Brexit will bring a number of changes. Sure, we don’t know what they’ll be. But we’re going to have to deal with it.
