Looking Around the Corner

Looking Around the Corner
How Leaders Build Resilient Organisations

Most organisations do not fail because they lack plans. They fail because they lack understanding.

In an increasingly uncertain world, leaders are expected to make decisions with incomplete information, navigate disruption and prepare their organisations for an unpredictable future. Yet many organisations continue to approach resilience as a compliance activity rather than a leadership capability.

Looking Around the Corner challenges this thinking.

Drawing on experience from military operations, executive leadership and global advisory roles, Jon McNish presents a practical and accessible guide to building organisations that can anticipate change, adapt under pressure and perform when it matters most.

Rather than focusing on plans, policies and frameworks alone, this book explores the leadership behaviours, organisational capabilities and decision-making disciplines that create genuine resilience.

Inside you will discover:

• Why activity is not the same as capability

• How leaders make better decisions under uncertainty

• The role culture plays in resilience and performance

• Why communication is often the decisive capability during disruption

• How learning and adaptation create long-term advantage

• How to improve organisational awareness and situational understanding

• Why resilience is fundamentally a leadership challenge

• How the Looking Around the Corner Model (LACM) helps leaders understand their organisation, their environment and what may happen next

Whether you are a board member, executive leader, resilience practitioner, security professional or risk manager, Looking Around the Corner provides a practical framework for building organisations that are better prepared for an uncertain future.
