Today's guest is Ron Robinson, author of The Practices of Resilient Companies. In the book, Ron explores what allows organizations to withstand disruption, adapt to change, and emerge stronger - from leadership and culture to employees, customers, technology, operations, and financial resilience.

We'll talk about what companies often get wrong about resilience, how leaders can prepare for uncertainty, and the practical habits that help organizations not only survive disruption but thrive through it.
