Leading through Uncertainty and Ambiguity with Maggie Gough

Join Jason for an enlightening episode as he sits down with Maggie Gough, Chief Operating Officer at Bright Arrow.

In this episode, Jason and Maggie discuss the evolving challenges of leadership in today's uncertain landscape. Maggie shares some of the challenges their CEO clients are facing today and how they are coaching them to cultivate clarity, stability, and resilience within their organizations.


Key lessons highlighted in our conversation include:

👉 Navigating extreme uncertainty starts with leaders processing emotions privately to maintain calm and focus with their teams.


👉 Frequent strategy shifts are often necessary, but leaders must pace changes to avoid team burnout.


👉 Having a trusted coach or mentor helps leaders handle their emotional and strategic processes away from the eyes of their teams.


👉 Importance of building and sustaining trusted relationships within teams, pre-crisis, as these bonds serve as bedrock during tough times.


👉 Sometimes crises can actually serve as a turning point to build trust and stronger relationships within dysfunctional teams.
