But there's a story nobody's telling — what's happening inside the rooms where the decisions are being made.
In this solo episode of The Pivot, I explore the moment leaders reach for their playbook and find it doesn't cover the terrain they're standing in. Through a composite portrait of a CFO navigating this crisis in real time, I show what Pivot leadership actually looks like — not as a concept, but as a practice, this week, in conditions none of us have seen before.
What you'll hear:
— Why the instinct to work harder on the map is producing more noise, not more clarity
— What paralysis actually is — and why it's information, not weakness
— How one leader used her interior as a data source under genuine pressure
— The 48-hour decision that changed the outcome
— What the unthinkable becoming real means for the kind of leadership the next decade needs.
The Pivot is a podcast and practice for leaders navigating uncertainty and complexity — from the inside out.
