AI, a hybrid workforce, and the hangover of a global pandemic have changed the way we work. As connection wanes, anxiety thrives. You start to feel uncertain about your future. But a success mindset comes before success itself. With the right thought patterns and a set of practical tools, Wood explains that success is found in tiny decisions: emails that can be more poignant, conversations that can be more purposeful, and moments that can be more impactful. You need to have Wild Courage in the throes of uncertainty. And as resilience grows, so does your ability to take control.

From setting the stage so employees feel comfortable to ask questions to encouraging teams to contribute ideas at any level, good leaders double down on the generosity that got them where they are. And that takes courage. Wild amounts of it.
