If you wait for chaos to hit before you take action or make hard calls, you will find yourself reacting alongside the masses. Leadership requires stepping out of the daily noise to regularly evaluate the market, your team, and where your company is headed. Markets are won in times of turbulence and uncertainty by those who were willing to act before the storm arrived. Victory belongs to those who anticipate change and prepare accordingly, not to the reactive managers simply trying to survive. P.S. Happy birthday, Dad!
