Navigating the Fog of Change™: Lessons from 2025 to Leadership in 2026
We’re not lacking information—we’re overwhelmed by it.

In this special episode of Focus on Growth: Navigating the Fog of Change™, Tom Doorley looks back on the most important insights from his 2025 conversations with CEOs, founders, board members, and change leaders—and asks a critical question:

How do we lead effectively in 2026 when uncertainty isn’t going away?

The fog of change—driven by AI, geopolitics, demographics, and media—is not temporary. It is massive, fast, and permanent. Traditional long-range planning no longer works.

In this episode, Tom shares a practical leadership framework for this new reality, including:

·      Why strategy today is about being ready, not right
·      How to build a focused Leader’s Change Agenda
·      The importance of “lookouts” to sense danger and “scouts” to seek opportunity
·      Why trust and belief—not compliance—determine whether change succeeds
·      How boards and advisors can move from oversight to real insight

The takeaway is simple but powerful:
We can’t eliminate uncertainty, but we can create the trust and clarity needed to decide, act, and adapt.

If you lead an organization through constant change, this episode will help you navigate the fog—and make 2026 a year of progress, not paralysis.
