A
Culture of Leadership |
Leadership has sometimes been described as taking people to a place
that they would not normally go to on their own. Once a sound
strategic planning process has determined what that place should be
it is the leader's prime and fundamental responsibility to assure
that there is cultural alignment with the vision and that the full
resources of the organization are effectively brought to bear to
achieve that destination. |

Bridging the Complexity Gap: Leading Effectively in a VUCA World |
In the weeks before September 11, the U.S. Army War College coined
the term VUCA to stand for volatile, uncertain, complex, and
ambiguous environments. Globalization, information technology,
economic and political instability, and climate change create a
level of interconnection and interdependence that requires a new
kind of leadership. Studies by KMPG and IBM[1] identify navigating
in this environment as a critical success factor for leaders. The
most important resource you have under your control for navigating
this complexity is your leadership mindset—the collection of
beliefs, values, assumptions and experiences, often unconscious,
that inform how you interpret your world and take action. Is your
leadership mindset prepared for how the VUCA world shows up in your
organization? 2012 |
