To operate successfully through turbulent times, adaptability and strategic foresight are the key ingredients for business health. Here, nine experts from Fast Company Executive Board offer their insights on how to thrive amid these everchanging international dynamics and ensure long-term success despite the challenges.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE TURMOIL.

Big changes make most companies panic, but smart leaders see opportunity in turmoil. If you’re not a top global leader, instability is your advantage. When rules are unclear, move first to shape them. When competitors freeze, seize the moment to grow. Don’t fear change - use it. The fastest, smartest businesses win because of uncertainty, not despite it. - Shayne Fitz-Coy, Sabot Family Companies
