My leader left. He had to find a place that respects his skills and dedication, not here.

    It's hard, I get it, however, people work for people, never under estimate that. Your leader was in a different place for their career with skill set. Look to see if you can show resilience and growth in times of uncertainty.

    You train yourself to focus only on that which is under your control. Getting depressed or frustrated, while understandable, is counter productive and will create a negative mindset.

    Furthermore, focusing on your personal life and gratitude will create a positive balance and provide a strong center to see you through the particularly rough days.

    Learn to build your own certainty. Don't look for certainty and stability where it doesn't exist. If the flux of change leaves you anxious you may need to find a safer and gentler position somewhere else.
