Building a Resilient Workforce: What Leaders Must Do Now

As the business landscape becomes more volatile, organizations need leaders who can adapt, align, and drive resilience. Both McKinsey and The Predictive Index (PI) emphasize that leadership success today looks different than a decade ago. Yet, many organizations haven't evolved their leadership approach to match.

🚨 Key Insights from McKinsey & PI Reports:
🔹 86% of leaders say their views on leadership success have changed—but their organizations haven’t kept up​.
🔹 Only 10% of companies prioritize work-life balance for leadership success.
🔹 50% of leaders struggle with misaligned goals, leading to disengagement and inefficiencies​.
🔹 Organizations with formal leadership measurement frameworks see 94% higher confidence in leadership success​.

💡 What can companies do?
Establish clear success metrics for leadership.
Align company goals with leadership objectives to reduce ambiguity.
Invest in skill-building that leaders actually value—not just compliance training.
Prioritize well-being and workload management to reduce burnout.

At CXO Accelerator, we help leaders close the gap between strategy, talent, and execution—because resilient teams don’t just react to change, they anticipate and lead through it.
