Navigating organizational uncertainty, change, and chaos is one of the most important challenges facing profit and non-profit leaders today. In the past, leaders dealt with uncertainties but frequently waited for complete information with predictable outcomes before deriving strategic decisions. Now, in an environment of rapid change and uncertainty, leaders must not only anticipate and embrace change but make decisions with little information in an unpredictable environment. There is nothing more challenging than leading during times of organizational change, uncertainty, crisis, and chaos. That said, leading in a world of complexity and uncertainty requires new leadership with a different mindset, fresh perspective, and innovative skills.
