We are living in extremely different times than leaders of the past did.

 

We have shifted from a predictable world, where problems and solutions were mostly obvious and complicated, to a world that is much more unpredictable. The global challenges of 2022 threw leaders into business dynamics that are chaotic at their worst and complex at their best.

 

In my experience, the leaders and organizations that are thriving post-pandemic are those who have adjusted their leadership to acknowledge and embrace the complexity of the unpredictable world. Leaders who are still stuck, and using techniques and tools that worked in the predictable world are struggling.

 

Much of my coaching work is helping leaders understand what types of problems they are dealing with and adjusting their leadership styles and tools to meet the needs of the world today.

 

This new style of leadership encourages leaders to get off the hamster wheel, breathE, experiment, and lead, think, and become more playful.

 

This style, at first glance, may feel counterintuitive but it is necessary for success in complexity.
