At the moment, we are experiencing, among other influences, political instability. Yesterday it was economic instability, industrial instability, etc... There is always something - never in recent times have we had total calm and predictability.

Business must navigate through and past these obstacles and still achieve their objectives - that is what directors and managers are employed to do. Those skilled at navigation will reap the benefits and those who are indecisive and/or don't know how to deal with the issues that confront them, will similarly get the outcomes they deserve.

Today we blame a fairly sub-optimal community of mediocre politicians - but it is the constituency that voted them in and which led to the current state of affairs. It may get worse before it gets better. Therefore, learn to deal with it rather than complain about it.
