If you’re aiming for the summit, the air gets thinner—and what got you here won’t be enough to get you to the top (a concept first popularized by Marshall Goldsmith in his book What Got You Here Won’t Get You There ).

Challenging may be the appropriate word to document the environment that will greet businesses in 2023.
