Learning to excel in a VUCA environment
VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) conditions ask a lot of leaders and teams. The temptation is to grip tighter – more control, more planning, more performance of certainty that leaders don’t actually have in today’s world.
Join this workshop to…
- Build greater self-awareness as a leader so that you can notice your own patterns under pressure.
- Have a review of your own team with the three patterns that drive team performance under VUCA: clarity, connection and intention.
- Leave with three practical actions to take back to your team.
