Is disruption what breaks organizations, or is it something else?

Disruption is everywhere – AI, constant change, leadership turnovers, shifting priorities.  Most organizations are trying to manage the risk, but what if managing risk is the wrong goal?

What if it's not disruption that breaks organizations, but what happens to trust during a time of disruption?

Kim Bohr, the expert behind organizational trust elasticity, teaches us how leaders can build the kind of trust that actually increases an organization's ability to navigate change. What she’s found through measuring how much disruption an organization can handle before trust breaks will change how you think about leadership.
