By Jason Collins<\/a><\/p>\n

For decades, the prevailing wisdom for business leaders was to stay out of politics. Neutrality was considered the safest, most responsible stance for corporate executives and board members to take. But today that approach is increasingly untenable. From the COIVID-19 pandemic to intensifying political polarization and controversy, leaders now find themselves at the center of public debates whether they choose to engage with them or not.<\/p>\n

For leaders, silence is a statement, and political neutrality is no longer a viable option, according to Academy of Management Scholar Wendy Smith<\/a> of the University of Delaware.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt used to be that there were checks and balances in the U.S. government,\u201d Smith said. \u201cThe market was separate from the state, or companies were separate from the government, and that is no longer the case.\u201d<\/p>\n

To survive and thrive in this era when economics and politics collide to sow chaos, Smith said that leaders should \u201ctalk about strategizing as a verb rather than having a strategy.\u201d For Smith, this means considering \u201cthe conditions that we need to bring a team together to be agile and moving, even as we need to communicate out to our people some sense of security.\u201d<\/p>\n

Strategic decisions from supply-chain choices to remote, hybrid, or return-to-office work policies have become flashpoints in boardroom and C-suite conversations and political discourse. Leaders now must navigate complex social, economic, and political terrains, speak out on pressing issues, and align their actions with values that resonate with stakeholders\u2014employees, shareholders, customers, and communities alike.<\/p>\n

Companies\u2019 leaders have had to deal with uncertainties for a long time, but Smith said many of their strategies and their organization\u2019s systems are antiquated. According to Smith, nowadays leaders are learning that they need to \u201ccommunicate to their people, optimize their processes, and cultivate openness in their conversations, but not pretend that there\u2019s certainty of what the future will bring, because that\u2019s just false hope.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smith acknowledged that leaders are faced with unique challenges in this current political landscape characterized by dissention, frustration, anger, and unpredictability, making it difficult to navigate socioeconomic volatility.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the consequences of this highly polarized world is that leaders, because of the polarization, are being attacked for polarizing positions,\u201d Smith said.<\/p>\n

In this current era, leadership is less about having definitive answers and more about asking incisive questions, listening to a range of perspectives, evaluating various responses to difficult circumstances and controversial issues through an ethical lens, and having the courage of one\u2019s convictions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want leaders who are competent and courageous, not stepping away from that responsibility to take a stand and speak up for what\u2019s right because it is so risky,\u201d Smith said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
