5. Be Flexible: Adapt to changes as they come, even if it means shifting priorities or altering the original plan.
6. Communicate Clearly: Keep relevant stakeholders informed about the challenge, the potential impact, and your plan of action.
7. Learn from It: After overcoming the challenge, reflect on what you can learn from the experience to be better prepared in the future.
