Leaders, It's Time to Build Your Tolerance for Uncertainty
HBR (13 Jan 2026) by Simone Stolzoff (author of the forthcoming 'How To Not Know: The Value of Uncertainty in a World that Demands Answers') outlines three moves for leaders to build tolerance for uncertainty in 2026: anchor yourself in clear values and enduring priorities to give stability when everything else is in flux; embrace experimentation, building to learn rather than over-planning; and reframe murky conditions as opportunities for growth rather than threats. Direct map to the PARRY decision-quality frame: uncertainty tolerance is not avoidance — it is a structured posture that enables faster, better-anchored decisions when the data is incomplete.
