Flexible Leadership and Evolving Commitments

The world in which we operate moves so quickly that it's ill-advised for a leader to devote an organization's undivided attention on one thing or one direction for too long. So in an effort to be nimble and flexible to changing conditions, a leader will make evolving commitments to many markets, funding or technology. But wouldn't doing so put added stress on people within the organization scrambling to meet all these diverse commitments? How does such decision making impact an organization? What are the pros and cons and how should a leader respond?
