What do you do when your perfectly crafted plan suddenly breaks?The budget gets slashed. Priorities change overnight. A disruption blindsides your team. Suddenly, the map is gone, the destination is unclear, and everyone is looking at you for answers.In moments like these, clinging to the original plan erodes trust. The best leaders know how to adapt, communicate clearly, and guide their teams through uncertainty with confidence.In this Leadership TTP video, U.S. Air Force veteran Jason LeDuc — Founder, CEO, and Leadership Strategist at Jason LeDuc Leadership Consultants — reveals three proven techniques for leading when the plan falls apart:1️⃣ Embrace Uncertainty with AdaptabilityStop being the “know-it-all” and become the “learn-it-all.” Humility, curiosity, and a willingness to pivot build resilience and credibility.2️⃣ Solicit Diverse Input & Build Collective IntelligenceInvite dissenting voices and multiple perspectives to make better decisions in ambiguous situations. The best leaders don’t just tolerate dissent — they encourage it.3️⃣ Communicate Transparently, Stay Present & Act DecisivelyProject calm, provide clear intent, and take small, deliberate steps forward. Be honest about what you don’t know, share credit for wins, and take accountability for setbacks.💡 Why this matters for YOU:Whether you’re a corporate executive, HR leader, training manager, operations manager, startup founder, or entrepreneur, your ability to lead in uncertainty can make or break your organization.If you want to inspire trust, keep your team engaged, and make better decisions when the future feels unclear, this episode is your playbook.📌 Watch now to learn:• How to pivot quickly when the unexpected hits• The mindset shift that separates credible leaders from rigid ones• Practical strategies to lead teams through uncertainty without losing momentum• Ways to foster trust and psychological safety even when you don’t have all the answers💬 YOUR TURN:When a plan fell apart for you, how did you lead through it?
