Today’s Leaders Are Facing Unprecedented Challenges, Shifting Realities, Increasing Demands And Scrutiny.
We have now learned that even when we prepare for everything, the unpredictable can happen.
Leaders are called upon to lead even when they have no idea what their next steps should be.
A 2015 Harvard Business Review revealed that 43% of managers believed that complexity slowed growth and decision-making. Therefore, adapting quickly to change is an increasingly valuable skill to possess in rapidly changing academic and corporate environments.
Professors Linda Argote and Ella Miron-Spektor also argue that “The ability to learn and adapt is critical to the performance and long-term success of organizations."
The success of organizations is linked to the skill of their founders and employees.
In "The Fifth Discipline" author Peter Senge suggests that organizations only learn when individuals learn, and organizations are only as good as their people.
Where do you go to collaborate with other leaders with similar challenges to huddle and figure out what to do?
