“TECHNOLOGY MAY YET HELP US WITH THE CLIMATE ISSUES. GOOD PUBLIC POLICY IS IMPORTANT, TOO. BUT, IN THE END, IT’S LEADERSHIP THAT IS GOING TO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.”

Watkins added that, while organizations should be bracing for further turbulence ahead, by developing “energetic leadership”, they will be much better prepared to weather the storm. This is the ability of a leader to mobilize and focus the energy of individuals, teams and organizations – in order to achieve goals on a sustainable basis.

“We are heading into challenging times,” said Watkins, “and we can’t be in a state of denial about that reality. Technology may yet help us with the climate issues. Good public policy is important, too. But, in the end, it’s leadership that is going to make the difference.”
