"Be a time traveller. Manage today's crisis. But strategize for tomorrow." - Futurist Jim Carroll

Downturns are not just economic events. They are stress tests for leadership.

When pressure builds, plans unravel. Priorities scatter. Noise takes over. People panic. That’s when some leaders retreat—shrinking their vision, delaying decisions, or hoping someone else will take the next step. But others stay grounded. They hold the line—for their teams, their strategy, and their purpose.

This is real resilience. Not slogans. Not survival But the ability to move across time—anchoring the present, while building for the future.

You have to be a time traveller: respond to the moment, while keeping your eyes locked on what comes next. Resilient leaders don’t just manage the current crisis —they hold it together until the future arrives.

Here’s what the data shows from past downturns:

- the most resilient organizations didn’t retreat into reactive cycles.
- they didn’t discard their long-term vision under short-term fear.
- they remained disciplined on costs and intentional on growth.
- they protected their people, their customers, and their momentum—not just their margins.

The fact is, while they managed the crisis in real time, they never lost sight of the bigger arc.

- they thought across multiple time horizons at once:
- they actively manage today.
- all while preparing for tomorrow.
- and positioning for the rebound that always comes.

They didn’t flinch. But they didn’t charge blindly either. They led with calm, communicated with transparency, and made decisions that reflected long-term confidence — not panic.

That’s the essence of future-ready leadership.

So as the pressure rises, the question is simple: Are you retreating—or reinforcing? Are you in one time zone or several?

Because the leaders who shape what’s next aren’t the ones with the boldest slogans. They’re the ones who stay clear, steady, and focused—while keeping one foot in the future.

Be a time traveller.

Manage the crisis.

But never stop building what’s next.

It's officially #baseball season, so I thought it was as good a time as ever to read Two In The Field by Darryl Brock. It's the follow-up to his time travel/baseball novel If I Never Get Back. I read the first book in my adolescence, and then enjoyed it again about a year ago, which is also when I discovered the sequel.

Admit it: "time travel" and "baseball" is not a plot combo you've seen before! Somehow, Brock makes it work.

Cover for Two In The Field (A Novel) by Darryl Brock. "Smartly written historical adventure... a worthy addition to Brock's lineup of baseball novels." - The Sacramento Bee Cover image shows a close-up of a single worn baseball in light sepia tone.

The amazing Mary Robinette Kowal, narrator extraordinaire, did the audiobooks for The Far Time Incident and its sequel!
