In a world of nonstop change, uncertainty has become the new normal — and it’s taking a toll. A 2025 Deloitte study found that two-thirds of employees feel overwhelmed by the pace of change, and half worry they’re being left behind. The result? Burnout, disengagement, and diminished performance.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. When leaders know how to activate what makes people remarkable, they transform exhaustion into energy — and uncertainty into opportunity.
