Show Notes

Maril MacDonald, founder and CEO of Gagen MacDonald, joins The Crux to explore how leaders can steer organizations through today’s turbulence—AI disruption, geopolitical risk, layoffs, and rapid M&A activity. A pioneer in culture and change management, Maril shares lessons from advising Fortune 500 executives on building resilient, future-ready enterprises. She discusses how leaders can balance transparency with stability, spot when culture is an asset or liability, and mobilize employees around strategic goals. Drawing on decades of experience, including her own leadership journey, Maril offers practical advice on engagement, succession planning, and the traits leaders need most in a topsy-turvy world.
