In the current unpredictable and unstable business landscape, companies face growing challenges to stay competitive and sustainable amid crises like economic recessions, worldwide pandemics, and geopolitical disturbances. This paper examines the essential function of strategic leadership in promoting organizational resilience as a means to attain organizational agility during crises. Leveraging current research and theoretical models, the study highlights that leaders who embrace a long-term strategic outlook, encourage flexibility, and enable employee autonomy can enhance resilience on both structural and cultural fronts. Resilient organizations are consequently more prepared to foresee disruptions, react swiftly to changes, and recover efficiently, thus improving overall agility. This paper employs a conceptual model to situate resilience as an intermediary factor linking strategic leadership to organizational agility. The results emphasize that the ability to stay nimble in emergencies relies not only on structural adaptability but also on strategic leadership, sound decision-making, and a strong workforce. Practical implications are offered for leaders seeking to create organizations that cannot just endure but also flourish in uncertain conditions.
