Leadership in Today’s VUCA World
Leadership in Today’s VUCA World
Friday @ 8:30am
Leadership today takes place in a world that is volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous or ‘VUCA’, a term credited to the US military. The challenges are enormous, but we have great teachers in our sisters and brothers from the Developing World who have often had more years of experience leading in these conditions than those of us working in the West. We will explore practical ways to balance planning with flexibility and the necessity of utilizing all our best resources in decision making, even if that requires engaging those who are unlike us in ethnicity or gender. And we’ll discuss why Servant Leadership is more critical than ever in today’s conditions and how we can grow those skills.
