A Year End Message From McChrystal Group

As 2024 draws to a close, our founder and CEO, Stan McChrystal, reflects on what the year has meant to him personally and what he learned – and hopes to impart to others – professionally. Amidst the turbulence, with headlines and challenges seeming unrelenting, is when leaders, teams, and the pursuits they share come into clearer view.

McChrystal has found from experience that when you pause, breathe, and reset, the often-elusive clarity comes.

So, his challenge? For each and every leader to seize the opportunity to reflect on their team’s collective resilience and the values that drive them forward. As we transition into the new year, McChrystal argues the time is now to double down on your teams and the people that comprise them.

As we step into 2025, we are reminded that challenges are often the catalysts for growth. And there will undoubtedly be challenges ahead. We encourage leaders to focus on their people and teams, ease up on the reigns, and chart the course ahead.
