Reimagining Crisis Leadership For The New Normal
Dahlia Mihyar is the VP and Global Head of National Security Accreditation at SAP. The world is a colder place than it was in the past. Multiple regional conflicts seem perpetually at a knife's edge, moments from exploding to a global scale; old axes of economic and political power are shifting as alliances are broken and remade; conflicts between great powers, even if more tension than outright aggression, have yielded a scramble for data, infrastructure and technology autonomy, as countries tighten their digital dependencies and privacy regulations like feudal lords pulling up their castle drawbridges. Globalism is over; we are now in an era of multipolar chaos, where national security, sovereignty and self-interest are the domineering forces at play. And within that harrowing context, the ideas of crisis leadership and management at the enterprise level have been forced to evolve rapidly. Managing Crises, Then And Now In the past, crisis leadership was primarily focused on internal emergencies, such as cyberattacks against the company, reputational crises or scandals, sudden financial upheavals within the company, or even kidnapping or hostage situations during business travel. (You would see that particular focus more prominently in industries like oil and gas.) Many companies had some version of a crisis management team or role, and traditionally, those roles focused more on projection than action: If you're operating in oil-rich regions like Cameroon or Nigeria, how do you assess the risk of kidnapping or cyberattack? Or, when a cyberattack gets severe, how and in what capacity would you involve the local government? But the new phase of crisis leadership goes beyond these traditional focuses. As geopolitical tensions escalate, global enterprises are being impacted. Consider a scenario in which a war breaks out in a region where a company has a major presence, or a mass-casualty terrorist attack occurs; the managing director of a company might suddenly be responsible for verifying employee safety, coordinating evacuations and overseeing other emergency logistics. Actions that weren't previously considered within the scope of mainstream management would now be part and parcel of the role, which is why having a designated crisis leadership team is critical. The problem is that although modern crisis leadership increasingly must account for external, global challenges (wars, pandemics, broad economic collapse), most companies simply aren't hiring with this in mind. When people are recruited for leadership roles, the focus tends to still be on KPIs or metrics—whatever makes the role successful in a 'business as usual' context. Not enough companies are asking the hard questions: How do you respond in a crisis? Do you have the skill set to lead in high-pressure, uncertain situations? What would you do if, suddenly, everything were on fire? Key Capacities For Crisis Management Part of the challenge in hiring for crisis management is that the best candidate may not have metrics, certifications or degrees to support their qualification. As they reassess qualifications for these roles, company leaders might be uncertain what they should be looking for. One major criterion for success in crisis management: a cool head. Patience is critical. When a crisis strikes, you rarely have all the information immediately available. You have to take a step back, assess the situation and identify whom to contact to get the right data ... all before making any decisions. That's how you avoid creating panic. Strong relationships are also key. You could be the smartest person in the room, but if you don't have connections—across your industry, inside your company, with government contacts—you won't be able to get anything done. In a crisis, it's all about who you know. You need contacts in government liaison offices, law enforcement and internal departments; you need access to people who can get information and maneuver quickly. That's how you generate real action. In a panel I moderated recently in Dubai, entitled 'The New Reality of Crisis Leadership,' we discussed the importance of building crisis management relationships before you need them. A lot of people don't take the time to do this because, frankly, crises aren't frequent—so they don't see it as necessary. But this is short-sighted: With escalating regulatory requirements around the world, as well as the increasing frequency of events such as cyberattacks, having government contacts is key. Moreover, each country has different rules; multinational businesses will often need local enforcement and cross-functional coordination to navigate those effectively. It isn't about building transactional connections, but actual relationships, so that you all can help each other reciprocally in times of crisis. And if you haven't built those relationships ahead of time, when a crisis hits, you're already behind. When The Network Is The Head Start But the right type of person doesn't necessarily have to already possess a Rolodex of connections. If you don't have those networks, then start creating them—just begin with one person. It's not about knowing 20 people; one great contact is more helpful than a dozen mediocre ones. Start showing up: Attend networking sessions, and join professional groups. There are always niche security or crisis response groups being held. For example, I attend presentations organized by OSAC (the Overseas Security Advisory Council), which is run by the U.S. Consulate. They bring together people in corporate security roles. Sometimes the sessions are deep and insightful, and sometimes you just pop in, say hi and leave—but over time, you get to know people who might be able to help you (and vice versa) down the line. The key is: Start before the panic. There's no worse time to begin building relationships than in the middle of a crisis. Also, understand that you'll never know everything. You could be the smartest, calmest person in the room and have the best-prepared plan, but you'll still need help. You'll still need someone to call. Asking for help is underrated. There's nothing wrong with saying, 'I don't know what to do—whom should I talk to?' It's all about starting and, more importantly, staying consistent. Keep the relationships alive. You don't need to call every week, but grab a coffee every few months. When the time comes and you do need something, they'll respond more quickly because you've already built a connection. Refining The Crisis Process A lot of organizations do have systems for crisis management, at least on paper. For example, our company (like many others) has a crisis management team that includes key people from different departments. When an event occurs, a systematic process gets triggered through an automated alert system, prompting us to jump on a call immediately to discuss the situation at hand. Those kinds of alert-management tools are useful. But the bigger issue is that most organizations need more tabletop exercises—simulations that help us stress-test the process. It's not just about reacting well in the moment. It's about asking throughout the year: Do we have the right people in this group? Are we missing any critical skill sets? Do we need to rethink our scenarios given how fast the geopolitical landscape is shifting? Governments are changing how they operate, too. Today, your country's aligned with another; tomorrow, that could shift. So, companies need to constantly re-evaluate, not just annually, but multiple times per year. Waiting for the panic moment is too late. A Necessary Reality Check Does this all sound like doom and gloom? Perhaps. I prefer to think of it as healthy realism. The takeaway is this: No one is relaxing. A mere glance at global news will tell you that everyone is preparing—militarily, economically, digitally. Countries are both ramping up their defenses and reemphasizing the sovereignty of data and assets. They want control over their information, their citizens, their future. They're building their own firewalls, literally and figuratively. Companies need to do the same. Today, enterprise leaders need to look at how their policies align or conflict with the countries in which they operate. There are more regulatory demands than ever before, and companies need reporting protocols for incidents. In highly sovereign or classified environments, countries may want their own nationals handling the most sensitive data. You can't just align to your corporate values anymore—you also have to follow your host country's rules. The business model of operating globally is becoming ever more complicated. We're living in a time of chaos, and companies must take that seriously. If they're focusing only on sales, growth and production, then it's time to re-evaluate for their own self-preservation. Security, crisis preparedness, resilience ... these aren't optional anymore. In fact, they are the only way through.

How To Build A Billion-Dollar Business Mindset In A Volatile Economy
Dr. Stephen Akintayo is Forbes Best of Africa Leading Investment Coach and Real Estate Mogul. Chairman and Founder, Gtext Holdings. I firmly believe that economic chaos does not destroy billion-dollar potential, small thinking does. I began my entrepreneurial journey with no financial cushion, no connections and no startup capital. With little more than a basic laptop, prepaid internet and a hunger for change, I began what would later become a global company. My secret to success? I rewired my mindset long before I could upgrade my circumstances. I thought like a billion-dollar leader while operating from a modest one-room apartment. And I learned that the most powerful investment you will ever make, especially in volatile economies, is in your mentality. I also learned that your mindset is not inherited. It's built. Turning Scarcity Into Strategy In my early days, like many aspiring entrepreneurs, I was reactive. I thought the economy was the enemy, that success could only come once 'things stabilized.' That changed when I met someone who had built real, generational wealth in the same unstable environment I found overwhelming. His message was simple, but piercing: The economy is external. Wealth is internal. Master your mind and you'll multiply anything in your hands. It took time, trial and painful mistakes, but I began to understand. What I lacked was not money. It was mental infrastructure. Here's what billion-dollar minds know that most don't: Volatility is not the enemy. It is a filter. It reveals who's merely coasting and who's truly built for the long game. While most entrepreneurs panic, billion-dollar thinkers prepare. They don't wait for certainty. They think in decades, not quarters. They invest in people and systems when others hoard. Shifting Your Mindset Here are five defining mindset shifts I've learned along the way: Most entrepreneurs today are obsessed with visibility. But visibility doesn't guarantee viability. Billion-dollar minds understand that attention is fleeting, but impact is generational. They don't build to impress. They build to outlive trends. They obsess over what their grandchildren will inherit, not what the algorithm will boost. In economically unstable environments, many default to self-preservation. But long-term wealth thinkers approach money like seed, not security. They ask, "What can I grow with what I have?" and "Where should I plant for long-term returns, not short-term comfort?" At my company, we have consistently invested in land and infrastructure even during economic downturns. Those assets became more valuable because of them. That's the power of thinking beyond fear. You don't have to live in New York or London to build with global relevance. You need to ask better questions, such as: • Can this solution solve problems across cultures or continents? • Is my branding, structure and team built to scale internationally? • Will this business still make sense 10 years from now in a global market? When I started my company, I wasn't just thinking in terms of location, I was thinking in terms of relevance. We hired internationally. We studied what real estate looked like in the United States and Dubai. We learned global compliance structures. We invested before we were 'ready.' That mindset created open doors. Not every storm requires noise. Not every crisis demands a public opinion. While many entrepreneurs panic, billion-dollar thinkers retreat inward and move strategically. They restructure. They protect their team. They revisit their vision. They build quietly. Here's what most people get wrong: They think cutting corners is the shortcut to success. But in reality, nothing limits expansion like compromised integrity. In our business, we've declined partnerships that promised immediate cash but lacked long-term alignment. We've chosen trust over trend, even when it was hard. And today, that decision is paying off. Because influence built on character lasts longer than income built on convenience. During times of uncertainty, economic or otherwise, what matters most is not how much you have, but how trained your mind is to see opportunities in the cracks. I encourage you to ask yourself the following questions: • What beliefs do I need to retire to grow bigger than my circumstances? • Am I reacting to fear or building toward vision? • What legacy will I leave if I keep building the way I currently am? Lastly, remember that billion-dollar thinkers adapt. They revise, not retreat. So, stop waiting for perfect conditions—they don't exist.

3 Great Energy Stocks to Buy This August
Key Points TotalEnergies is executing a unique long-term plan in the energy sector, using carbon profits to build a cleaner future. NextEra Energy sees powerful growth ahead. Brookfield Renewable is a top bet to play the renewable energy transition. 10 stocks we like better than NextEra Energy › Energy demand is growing briskly, and that bodes well for the companies producing the hydrocarbons we need today and those delivering the cleaner energy we'll need tomorrow. These energy companies should generate strong returns for investors as a result. TotalEnergies (NYSE: TTE), NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE), and Brookfield Renewable (NYSE: BEPC) (NYSE: BEP) stand out to a few contributing analysts as great buys in the energy sector. Here's why they're such attractive investments this August. TotalEnergies is prepared for the clean energy transition Reuben Gregg Brewer (TotalEnergies): The integrated energy model that's being used by TotalEnergies stands out from its closest peers in a very important way. Most energy giants focus on owning assets that span from the upstream (production) through the midstream (pipelines) and on to the downstream (chemicals and refining). That's great, and it provides a way for investors to get energy exposure while softening the impact of volatile commodity prices. TotalEnergies adds electricity to the mix, with a collection of renewable power and electric generation assets. Although BP and Shell both professed to have similar ambitions in 2020, they have since walked back their plans on the electricity front. TotalEnergies, by contrast, has increased its focus on the space. And, notably, BP and Shell cut their dividends when they announced their clean energy shifts while TotalEnergies didn't cut, specifically stating that it recognized how important the dividend is to investors. So, in the end, BP and Shell investors were really just left with a dividend cut. TotalEnergies investors got dividend increases and the diversification benefit of the energy company's shift into electricity and clean energy. The really big benefit here, however, is long-term in nature. As peers focus on oil while the world slowly shifts toward renewable power, TotalEnergies is preparing today for the future. Add in a lofty 6.4% dividend yield (U.S. investors have to pay French taxes and fees on the income they collect), and Total Energies is a great long-term option in the energy patch. Powerful growth drivers Matt DiLallo (NextEra Energy): NextEra Energy is growing quickly, especially for a utility. Adjusted earnings per share rose 9.4% in the second quarter, powered by growth in its Florida electric utility and energy resources segment. The latter business continues to benefit from strong demand for renewable energy. NextEra's energy resource segment ended the first quarter with nearly 30 gigawatts of renewable projects in backlog, compared with 38 GW of operating assets. Building on this momentum, the company expects to keep growing in the coming years. NextEra projects its adjusted earnings per share will rise 6% to 8% annually through 2027. CEO John Ketchum said he would "be disappointed if we are not able to deliver financial results at or near the top of our adjusted earnings per share expectations ranges in each year through 2027, while maintaining our strong balance sheet and credit ratings." NextEra also expects about 10% annual dividend growth through at least next year. NextEra Energy should keep growing at a healthy rate well beyond that. Analysts expect U.S. power demand to surge in the coming decades, driven by the growth of AI data centers, electrification, and the onshoring of manufacturing. This will require far more renewable energy capacity. As a renewable-energy leader, NextEra Energy should benefit from this sector's surging demand. Given these strong growth prospects and its attractive dividend yield of more than 3%, NextEra stands out as a compelling long-term investment. With its share price having dropped nearly 10% since the company reported second-quarter earnings last month, it's a great buy this August. A top-notch energy dividend stock Neha Chamaria (Brookfield Renewable): The Trump administration's shift away from renewables won't stop the global energy transition. Global renewable electricity generation is projected to grow by nearly 90% between 2023 and 2030, according to the International Energy Agency. The BloombergNEF's new energy outlook 2025, meanwhile, projects renewable generation to grow by 84% between 2025 and 2030, and then double by 2050. Buying a top-notch renewable energy stock like Brookfield Renewable could therefore be one of your smartest investing moves now. That's because Brookfield Renewable not only generates over 40% cash flows from markets outside North America but is also one of the most diversified renewable energy plays, with operations across hydropower, wind, solar, and distributed energy and storage. Brookfield Renewable just signed a first-of-its-kind hydro power agreement with tech giant Google to deliver up to 3,000 megawatts of hydroelectric power in the U.S. This deal comes on the back of yet another solid quarter, with Brookfield Renewable generating record funds from operations (FFO) in its second quarter, up 10% year over year. With an ever-growing pipeline and a projected boom in demand for electricity driven by data centers, Brookfield Renewable is in the sweet spot and expects to grow its annual FFO per unit by over 10% in the long term. With Brookfield Renewable also targeting 5% to 9% annual dividend growth and its corporate shares yielding 4%, this energy stock is also among the top 10 dividend stocks to double up on now.
