This episode was recorded in Reno, Nevada, during the 2025 Western Dairy Management Conference. Dr. Hemme begins with a demonstration of three different-sized glasses of milk representing the daily average dairy consumption in China, Europe, and the world as a whole. He explains that when you make predictions, it's good to identify the two main drivers of uncertainty in your industry. In the case of dairy, he cites whether or not people like dairy and whether or not they can afford it. He goes on to describe the four scenarios that can be created from those main drivers: people like dairy and can afford it, people don't like dairy but could afford it, people like dairy but can't afford it, and people don't like dairy and can't afford it. (4:05)Walt asks Dr. Hemme to give some perspective on what makes a country a reliable exporter built for the global economy. He gives a unique example of how American football versus soccer compares to exporting dairy from the US to the global market. Matt chimes in with his perspective on how DFA is positioning the industry for exports. He notes that we live in the world of VUCA - volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity - and that we have a lot of VUCA happening in the US right now. In general, he's very bullish on our natural resources, management skills, and technical capability in the US dairy industry. (10:17)The panel discusses who in the world is going to be able to meet the building demand for dairy products, and what the US might need to do to be a major player - in essence, moving from playing football to playing soccer. Dr. Hemme gives culture, policy, and relationship building as potential challenges for the US. (16:37)Matt is encouraged by the new investments in processing plants in the US and looks for a “build it and we will grow into it” scenario as we move forward. Dr. Hemme agrees that the processors are on board. But he wonders about the dairy farm side - no growth in cow numbers, not much growth in production, and breeding so many cows with beef semen makes him think the US is not believing in a growing dairy industry. He also talks about changing interest rates over time and impact on capital management. (25:50)The panel discusses the US milk price compared to the world milk price, the cost of production, and exchange rates. (29:45)Matt gives some perspective on beef-on-dairy. As the beef cycle levels back out and more beef heifers are retained, he forecasts fewer dairy cows being bred to beef semen and an increase in the supply and retention of dairy heifers. (34:31)Dr. Hemme talks about dairy demand and global population growth trends and predictions. (39:38)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

Recruiting Future is a podcast that helps Talent Acquisition teams drive measurable impact by developing their strategic capability in Foresight, Influence, Talent, and Technology. This episode is about Talent and Foresight. We're no longer dealing with a world that's simply volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous - we've arguably entered something far more challenging: a reality that's brittle, anxious, nonlinear, and incomprehensible. This shift is turning traditional workforce planning completely on its head. Three-year strategic plans become meaningless when entire job categories disappear in months, when AI capabilities jump overnight, and when market conditions change faster than planning cycles can adapt. So how can employers develop effective talent strategies in highly uncertain times, and how might talent acquisition step up to take a strategic role? My guest this week is Toby Culshaw, VP of Strategy for Talent Intelligence at Lightcast. In our conversation, Toby explains how real-time talent intelligence is needed to build talent strategies that can respond to rapid change and why TA teams are uniquely positioned as invaluable sources of business intelligence. In the interview, we discuss: Moving from a VUCA world to a BANI world Dramatic change with significant compound effects The implications for long-term planning Why it is now easier to better align TA with workforce planning Signals and real-time talent intelligence The shortening half-life of job skills The anxious workforce Surfacing insights from TA War gaming and scenario planning The importance of data What might the future look like?

Is AI in healthcare racing toward a crash? Discover what happens when innovation outpaces oversight, and why unchecked growth could lead to another industry meltdown. Mika Newton, CEO of xCures (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikanewton/), and Dr. Colleen Lyons, clinical research ethicist at Champlain College (https://aicommons.champlain.edu/people/colleen-p-lyons/), unpack the consequences of deregulation and the unintended barriers of over-regulation. They explore the ethics, governance models, and leadership competencies required to navigate the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world of AI-driven healthcare. Learn why compliance alone won't future-proof your organization, how to embed ethical frameworks that actually work, and how to recognize when you're stuck in a hype cycle with no real value.

Menghadapi era disrupsi dan perubahan struktural pasca pemisahan Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan (KLHK) , Badan Penyuluhan dan Pengembangan Sumber Daya Manusia (BP2SDM) memasuki momentum strategis untuk mendefinisikan ulang perannya. Di tengah lingkungan yang penuh ketidakpastian (VUCA) , transformasi ini menjadi sebuah keniscayaan. Rebranding ini bukan sekadar perubahan tampilan visual, melainkan sebuah transformasi fundamental yang menyentuh budaya organisasi, proses kerja, dan nilai yang ditawarkan kepada seluruh pemangku kepentingan sektor kehutanan. BP2SDM berevolusi dari peran tradisional sebagai penyedia pelatihan (training provider) menjadi mitra strategis dalam pembelajaran dan pengembangan (Learning & Development Partner) bagi setiap insan kehutanan. Dengan identitas baru sebagai "Ecosystem Builder Platform" untuk akselerasi pengembangan SDM kehutanan nasional , BP2SDM mengusung nilai-nilai inti yang baru: Adaptif , Inovatif , Kolaboratif , Berintegritas , dan Memberdayakan. Perubahan ini adalah cerminan komitmen untuk menjadi lebih proaktif dan inovatif dalam menjawab tantangan zaman. Dengan posisi strategis yang baru, BP2SDM akan secara proaktif mendukung keberhasilan program-program prioritas Kementerian, seperti FOLU Net Sink 2030 dan Perhutanan Sosial. Fokus utamanya adalah membangun SDM kehutanan yang mampu merespons tantangan masa depan seperti perubahan iklim, serta menguasai teknologi dan sustainability mindset. Salah satu inisiatif kunci untuk mengakselerasi visi ini adalah implementasi konsep "Kementerian Kehutanan Corporate University" (Kemenhut CorpU) yang akan menjadi motor penggerak terwujudnya pengelolaan hutan lestari dan peningkatan kesejahteraan masyarakat.
Donnez-moi votre feedback par SMS (mobile uniquement)!Le leadership adaptatif est un cadre de leadership pertinent pour relever des défis organisationnels complexes dans des environnements volatils, incertains, complexes et ambigus (VUCA) ainsi que dans des situations de crise. Développé par Ronald Heifetz et ses collègues de l'université de Harvard, ce modèle distingue les défis techniques, résolus par l'expertise existante, des défis adaptatifs nécessitant des changements systémiques. Les modèles hiérarchiques traditionnels échouent souvent dans des contextes changeants, nécessitant une résolution distribuée des problèmes et un apprentissage collectif. Le processus d'adaptation en temps de crise comprend six étapes : diagnostiquer les types de défis, maintenir une attention disciplinée aux questions critiques, présenter les conflits comme des opportunités de croissance, répartir les responsabilités de leadership, protéger les voix discordantes et équilibrer l'expérimentation et l'opérationnel. Les orientations cognitives critiques incluent la connaissance de l'environnement, la perspective systémique, la tolérance aux échecs intelligents, l'orientation fondée sur les principes essentiels, la tolérance à la perte, la séparation du rôle de l'expertise et l'équilibre entre le court et le long terme. Une méta-analyse récente identifie des caractéristiques globales du leadership adaptatif efficace, telles que la flexibilité, l'empathie, la communication transparente, la résilience, la vision à long terme et l'approche collaborative. Les compétences spécifiques en matière de communication et de prise de décision sous pression sont cruciales. Les facteurs organisationnels, tels que les cultures de soutien et d'innovation, les structures flexibles, la résistance au changement et l'apprentissage continu, contribuent au développement du leadership adaptatif. Des approches efficaces incluent la formation basée sur des scénarios, la pratique réflexive, les relations de mentorat, l'exposition interfonctionnelle, la formation aux compétences émotionnelles, les techniques de gestion du stress et les simulations en équipe. Le leadership adaptatif est utile non seulement en réponse à une crise, mais aussi comme approche proactive pour préparer les organisations à prospérer dans un contexte de perturbation.

Mơ hồ là nỗi sợ quen mặt của người khởi nghiệp! (Và đôi khi là nỗi sợ lớn nhất)Chúng ta đang sống trong một thời đại gọi là VUCA – viết tắt của Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity: biến động, bất định, phức tạp, mơ hồ. Khi mà bối cảnh kinh tế, chính trị, xã hội thay đổi chóng mặt, cạnh tranh khốc liệt khiến người làm chủ mỗi ngày thức dậy với một loạt câu hỏi chưa lời đáp:"Sắp tới sẽ ra sao?""Mình đã đủ kiến thức, đủ kinh nghiệm để chèo lái công ty, sự nghiệp chưa?""Mình có bỏ lỡ điều gì quan trọng khiến doanh nghiệp phải trả giá không?""Lối đi này của mình còn đúng không?"Thực ra, sự mơ hồ không nằm ngoài kia, nó nằm ở bên trong bạn. Thế giới bên ngoài chỉ là chất xúc tác, còn điều khiến bạn lo lắng thật sự, chính là vì bạn chưa dám nhìn thẳng vào sự thật bên trong: rằng bạn đang mệt, đang thấy mình chậm lại, thấy mình bất lực vì chẳng thể làm gì khi mọi thứ rối ren. Bạn né tránh cảm xúc, vẫn đi làm, họp hành, nói là mình “ổn" nhưng bên trong bạn biết bạn có thể gãy bất cứ lúc nào. Những cảm xúc đó, nếu không kịp xử lý, dễ biến thành lo âu, rồi thậm chí là trầm cảm. Và lúc đó, rất khó để quay lại.Từ kinh nghiệm 17 năm khởi nghiệp, rất nhiều lần trải qua những cảm giác tương tự, tui học được một điều: Làm. Làm cái gì đó nhỏ thôi, bắt đầu từ việc bạn có thể kiểm soát được.Lúc bối rối, thử viết xuống những điều khiến bạn lo lắng, đặt tên cho nỗi sợ đó, biến nó thành thứ hữu hình, rồi từ đó, tìm cách đối diện và giải quyết từng cái một. Và hay lắm mọi người, khi mình tập trung làm những gì mình có thể, càm giác sợ hãi dần biến mất, và tui tin, trong lúc mọi thứ khó khăn, có làm còn hơn nằm im bất động.Trong giai đoạn này ngoài làm những việc trong vai trò trách nhiệm của mình, tui chọn dành thời gian cho những kết nối quan trọng. Như bây giờ, tui đang cố gắng thân thiết hơn với người trợ lý mới, sẽ đồng hành cùng mình trong chặng đường tiếp theo. Và tui viết, những việc mình làm hiện tại, có ích trong tương lại.Nhưng dù làm gì đi nữa, cùng đừng quên điều quan trọng nhất, chăm sóc bản thân: Ăn, ngủ, hít thở, vận động, lắng nghe cơ thể và cảm xúc bên trong của mình. Vì bạn không thể lãnh đạo một doanh nghiệp khỏe mạnh khi bản thân mình đang kiệt quệ.Và đó là nội dung của tập podcast mới nhất trong Cà Phê Khởi Nghiệp cùng Tùng BT.Mời bạn cùng lắng nghe và chia sẻ với Tùng cách bạn vượt qua sự mơ hồ trong giai đoạn hiện tại nhé!
Selami pemikiran revolusioner Fritjof Capra yang mengubah cara kita memandang sistem, organisasi, dan kepemimpinan. Di tengah dunia yang serba kompleks dan penuh ketidakpastian (VUCA), Capra menantang pandangan mekanistik tradisional yang melihat dunia sebagai mesin terpisah-pisah. Ia mengajak kita untuk beralih ke "pandangan sistemik" atau "perspektif ekologis," di mana fokus utama adalah pada keterhubungan, relasi, dan pola yang membentuk "jaring-jaring kehidupan". Pemahaman ini krusial, karena masalah global seperti krisis iklim dan sosial sejatinya bersifat sistemik dan tidak bisa dipecahkan secara terisolasi. Dengan lensa Capra, organisasi tak lagi dilihat sebagai mesin kaku, melainkan sebagai ekosistem hidup—jaringan dinamis individu yang terus berinteraksi, berkomunikasi, dan beradaptasi. "Kehidupan" sebuah organisasi terletak pada jaringan komunikasi informal dan communities of practice di dalamnya, tempat ide-ide baru muncul dan inovasi berkembang. Fleksibilitas, resiliensi, dan kreativitas bukanlah hasil perintah dari atas, melainkan sifat yang lahir dari interaksi sehat dalam jaringan tersebut, mencerminkan prinsip-prinsip ekoliterasi seperti saling ketergantungan dan kemitraan. Implikasinya, peran pemimpin pun bertransformasi secara radikal. Bukan lagi sebagai pengendali mesin, melainkan sebagai "tukang kebun" atau fasilitator yang memelihara kesehatan sistem agar dapat tumbuh dan belajar secara mandiri.Kepemimpinan ekologis menuntut kemampuan berpikir holistik, kerendahan hati, fokus pada pembelajaran berkelanjutan, dan kesadaran bahwa setiap tindakan berdampak pada keseluruhan sistem. Ini adalah panggilan untuk mengembangkan literasi ekologis dalam diri kita, melihat keterhubungan, dan beralih dari paradigma eksploitasi menuju keberlanjutan demi masa depan bersama.

In dieser Folge der Agile Transformation Toolbox spreche ich mit Prof. Dr. Ulrich Lichtenthaler, Professor für Management & Entrepreneurship, über ein brandneues Konzept, das in der Unternehmenswelt aktuell viel Aufmerksamkeit erhält: PUMO. PUMO ist die Weiterentwicklung bekannter Akronyme wie VUCA oder BANI und hilft dir, die aktuellen Herausforderungen in Wirtschaft, Gesellschaft und Strategiearbeit besser zu verstehen – und damit umzugehen. PUMO steht für: P – Polarized: Warum du dich nicht mehr zu jedem Thema neutral verhalten kannst (oder solltest) U – Unthinkable: Wie du dich auf das vorbereitest, was heute noch undenkbar erscheint M – Metamorphic: Warum sich Geschäftsmodelle und Branchen grundlegend und dauerhaft wandeln O – Overheated: Wie du trotz gesellschaftlicher Überhitzung einen klaren Kopf behältst Wir sprechen darüber: Was PUMO konkret bedeutet und wie es entstanden ist Wie du PUMO in Strategiearbeit, Transformation und Change Management einsetzen kannst Welche Denkfehler viele Unternehmen aktuell machen – und wie du sie vermeidest Warum Agilität alleine keine Ausrede für reaktives Abwarten sein darf Jetzt reinhören und besser vorbereitet sein auf das, was kommt!

In a never-more-important throwback episode from 2021, hear again from KoAnn Skrzyniarz - who for years has been making a strong case for building Sustainable Brands in global conversations with some of the world's biggest advertisers. Learn why there's STILL a business -- and social -- value to purpose, perhaps even more so as environmental gains and progress towards sustainability are being undone with 'drill, baby, drill' threats and short-sighted profit-driven agendas. In time for Earth Month, or any time, KoAnn (frequently known by just her first name) shares not just the "whys", but some “hows”: how sustainability has moved the needle for leading brands and how to be resilient in a “VUCA” world. A what? Listen; she'll explain, and we also discuss: The impetus for creating Sustainable Brands What kind of changes has she seen in the brand and media marketplace in terms of embracing brand purpose "Twenty years ago it was not recognized that companies that understood how to innovate for environmental and social benefit were going to be the companies that survived and thrived in the 21st century." Is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) a good description? (Hint: KoAnn explains why it's more a "business opportunity" and why the ANA [Association of National Advertisers] uses he notion of ‘good growth'. ) How companies should integrate their brand marketers and strategists, the product and service positioning teams AND the sustainability/procurement/diversity teams Is our current focus on brand purpose just another trend? How does it compare to the green rush of the 2007 timeframe or rallying around Hurricane Katrina? Have companies evolved in their mission-driven work? The data supportive of sales driven by environmental and social value propositions; What kinds of brand transformation are happening -- and at which companies? How have companies like Clorox and P&G navigated the road to sustainability? And what is a Brand Transformation Roadmap? How Sustainable Brands itself pivoted during the pandemic to salvage -- and even grow -- their world-class conferences in a VUCA world! (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity!)

This week we dig into life's big questions: how to love, laugh & financially flourish in a world that seems to be doing its best to keep us off balance On my show this week I have a medley of minds and hearts to tackle life's most elusive pursuits: purpose, prosperity and punchlines. From the philosophy of love to economic psychology, and a sprinkle of comedy to bind it all together, the episode was a bouquet of unexpected wisdom. First up, Rick Serrano, philosopher, engineer, and Harvard MBA, returned with his relationship roadmap now available in book form: “All You Need is 10 Cherries.” This method to finding one's perfect life partner offers a structured framework to navigate your options —five cherries for self-awareness and five for action. From recognising doubts and defining values to the financial equivalent of the ‘Sunk Love Fallacy.' Rick urges us to approach relationships with the same discipline we apply to business. One of his main principles can be summarised here: “If you were not in this relationship today, would you enter it? If the answer is no, you already know what to do.” Rick's philosophy stretches beyond romance. His new workshop “The Quest for Meaning – Unveiling Your Life's Purpose” invites participants to envision their lives in 2040, both with current constraints and without. He combines forward vision with retrospective reflection, helping people identify patterns, possibilities, and pathways to an extraordinary life because he believes we owe ourselves nothing less. The theme of self-reclamation was echoed by comedians Jess Bauldry and Marta Correia, co-founders of Frilly Curtains Comedy Club and Festrogen Festival. They spoke of comedy as a healing force, particularly for women reclaiming their identity after traumatic life events such as divorce. Marta shared a poignant story of reading her “letter to the universe” onstage from which an audience member came up to her afterwards and told her that was how she found her own husband! Sophie Jablonski and Minna Schmidt of Flourish Financially joined once more to bring a fresh, empathetic take on economic empowerment with the “Four Seasons of Financial Health”. Spring is a time for planting seeds of confidence in a VUCA world (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous). The goal is to cultivate financial resilience, emotional steadiness, and long-term thinking amid global instability. Why is it that many financially savvy women don't invest. Fear, uncertainty and emotional barriers seem to be the recurring reasons. Sophie and Minna work with women to integrate personal development with financial literacy. They believe it's about knowing yourself and acting with intention, especially during turbulent times. So, whether you're rethinking your savings strategy, relationship status, or life purpose, hopefully this episode can serve as a catalyst to seek out your extra-ordinary life with intention. But first, clean your airplane. Attend the upcoming Festrogen Festival in Luxembourg here.

Ken Zuckerberg, head of global research at CHS Inc., says while current times are VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous), ag retailers should avoid making any quick decisions and spend even more time with customers. Zuckerberg also shares his latest thesis for where U.S. agriculture can find success, and it has to do with “Shake ‘N Bake”….

In this episode, Jacqueline V. Twillie introduces what VUCA really means Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity and why it's showing up in your work life more than ever. Whether you have a formal leadership title or not, this series will give you practical tools to stay grounded, clear, and confident.
In today's workplace, the relationship between companies and their employees has never been more complex—or more fragile. The pressures of a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world are reshaping how we work, how we lead, and how we navigate the space between personal and corporate values.For this week's guest, Ethan McCarty, CEO & Founder of Integral, this isn't just an academic discussion—it's the very heart of what makes organizations thrive (or unravel). As a leader in employee engagement and organizational communications, Ethan has spent his career helping businesses bridge the gap between what they say they stand for and how their people actually experience work.On today's episode, host Anne Green sits down with Ethan to explore the deep (and often uncomfortable) questions at the center of today's workplace challenges. How can we better understand the relationship between an individual's personal values and those expressed by their workplace? What are the implications for more, and less, alignment? Can businesses truly create a shared sense of purpose? And in an era of heightened political and social division, how should companies respond to (or account for) external pressures—without alienating the very people who keep them running?Join us as we discuss:How the pressures of a VUCA world impact both individuals and organizations—and why those impacts aren't always the sameThe tension between corporate values and personal identity and values—where alignment matters and where it may never fully existThe ongoing debates around politics in the workplace, return-to-office mandates, and the evolving role of DEIThe real effects of values misalignment on belonging, psychological safety, and performance

Ideas That Make An Impact: Expert and Author Interviews to transform your life and business
3 big ideas discussed in this episode: BIG IDEA #1: Adaptability, Resilience, and Intuition are skills that can be developed are distinguishing capabilities for leaders living in a VUCA environment. BIG IDEA #2: Now more than ever leadership requires innovative solutions and often unconventional thinking. Nature provides a readily available resource for inspiration. BIG IDEA #3: The traditional ways of leadership, while possibly still valid, are lacking in appeal to many younger leaders who can't see themselves in a “put in your time” model of advancing.

I've been thinking a lot about a term that I referenced on the last podcast episode (listen in if you haven't), this idea that we are currently living in a VUCA world—volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous and for empaths in particular, it can be incredibly challenging to feel grounded, centered, and connected with our higher self in this reality. So today on the podcast, I want to share with you a framework grounded in teachings by Michael Beckwith that has fundamentally supported my clients and myself in changing the way we look at things so that the things we look at change—The Four States of Consciousness. My hope is that today's conversation can provide a little bit more inspiration, peace, self compassion, acceptance and empowerment to support you in changing the way you might be looking currently at the things that are going on in our world. Topics: Seeing life as something that happens to you, often leading to blame, fear, and a sense of powerlessness and how to move out of the state of “victim” consciousness Finding empowerment by taking radical responsibility for one's experiences, leading to intentional action and personal growth Moving beyond personal control to allow your intuition to work through you, leading to a state of flow and co-creation with the universe. What it may be like to live in a world where your fundamental beliefs are from as me consciousness, where there are no problems and no one has to solve them Episode Resources: Wayne Dyer The Four Kingdoms of Consciousness by Michael Bernard Beckwith The Conscious Leadership Group Connect with Catherine: Apply to join the free Unbounded community, a vibrant group of empathpreneurs who are passionate about supporting each other on our entrepreneurial journeys.

Welcome back, today I want to talk about some ways that we as empathpreneurs and leaders can set ourselves up to thrive in a world that is feeling increasingly chaotic and unsafe for so many. As empaths are uniquely motivated by impact and mission, now more than ever, we need to be committed to thriving—not surviving. I think that leading with heart, learning how to make continued strategic decisions in the face of uncertain times in this VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) world that we're facing is the key to creating lasting positive change. Topics Discussed: Learning to respond to our own emotions with curiosity, permission, and honesty rather than trying to hide or “fix” our feelings Why we have to learn to accept our current reality so we can get connected with our higher purpose and the difference that we want to make Why self-care and self-preservation are non-negotiable business strategies in order to connect with your intuition and creativity Breaking free from Internalized Capitalism and leaning into Conscious Capitalism instead Episode Resources: Read: Internalized Capitalism and Four Conscious Ways to Combat it Listen: The Power of Rest and Resistance for HSPs Listen: The Power of a Morning Routine The Art of Gathering by Priya Parker Connect with Catherine: Apply to join the free Unbounded community, a vibrant group of empathpreneurs who are passionate about supporting each other on our entrepreneurial journeys.

THE Leadership Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
In Part One we looked at two broad categories of leadership competences around being Self-Aware and having Accountability. In this next tranche, we will look at being Others-Focused and at being Strategic. Others-Focused has many sub-points, but today we will investigate five key aspects Inspiring Through role modelling and communication skills, leaders can and should inspire followers. The olde days of the boss having to know more than everyone else has gone. The focus has shifted to developing followers, through personal interest and example. Are you consciously, systematically doing this? Develops Others Once upon a time, certainly when I first started work, there was no particular concept that it was the leader's role to develop others. Individuals had to step up and do it by themselves. This is fundamentally what all leaders had done in the past. Today however, business is more complex and fast moving, so everyone needs help. One of the issues is the struggle between selfishly focusing on your own glorious career and the role of others in boosting that cause and your own efforts to selflessly boost the careers of your direct reports. Companies need leader producing machines. The talented rise faster and higher by demonstrating they are that very elevating machine. Those who can demonstrate they can produce leaders are given a bigger remit to do that at scale. Can you do it and are you doing it? Positively Influences Others Rabid rivalry and internecine warfare between competing thrusters amongst the leadership team permeate the wrong messages to those below. Disciples pin their hopes to the banner of the thruster they think will go higher and take them with them. Everyone is grasping the greasy pole, trying to climb over each other to the top. Politicians and sycophants abound inside companies and are a vicious form of poison, because they are playing all ends against the middle to feather their own nest. The leader sets the tone. Not whining about others in the company, not playing petty internal power games and keeping firmly focused on beating the external rivals is the correct path. Are you and all of your colleagues on it? Effectively Communicates Personal capabilities and mastery of one's designated tasks are the usual path to promotion. Being 100% responsible for oneself is different to being responsible for a team. This is where leadership communication skills are soon shown to be frayed and tatty. Speaking the lingua franca is frankly so what? Communicating key messages and inspiring and persuading others to your path are the required skills. Few leaders do a great job because many are locked into the belief that all this communication stuff is fluff and hard skills are the only currency. They are doomed to be low altitude flight path denizens, because companies are looking for people who can move the masses forward. Is what you are doing every day moving them forward? Providing Direction This sounds so simple. I mean how hard can this be? What if it is the wrong direction though? What if we are all being urged to sprint faster off the cliff? This is the VUCA world of Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity. Setting the correct direction isn't the easiest thing for leaders these days. We can't know if the direction is correct until we start down the path. The clue is to adjust when confronted by unpleasant hints about the actual truth. We need to keep adjusting to the market realities and not become too convinced of our own genius and superiority. Has your leader ego convinced you that you are always correct? Being strategic is one of those tropes of leadership, but what does it actually involve? Let's look at couple of issues. Innovative This competency sounds obvious and easy except that very few companies, let alone people, are actually innovative. Think of all the companies you have worked for and nominate how many came up with any significant innovations? We are better off developing the innovation muscle of the entire team, than relying on our own scampy offerings. If you are substantially personally gifted in the innovation department then hats off to you. How many people like you then have you ever worked with? The answer is clear. The collective team, if harnessed properly to the task of coming up with innovative ideas, can do it together. The sticking point is, do you know how to marshal your team to do that? Solves Problems The is another obvious competency, except that are you the one running yourself ragged solving everything? Have you delegated tasks sufficiently so that others can share the burden? Leaders should be involved with big strategic issues, not with every small fry decision. If you are in the problem weeds and getting down and dirty with minor issues, it is time to rethink how you have positioned yourself as a leader. Uses Authority Appropriately Does every decision have to run by you? Are you in too many meetings? Are you hooked on your own authority and feel the need to be on top of everything? Developing staff means letting go and giving them some things to try and possibly fail with. “There are no mistakes, only learning opportunities” is a good mental intervention, for when your staff screw things up. Delegating your own power is a tough one for driven leaders. However, if you want to rise, you have to breed successors like rabbits, so that there are plenty of people to take over so that you can rise up the ranks.

In part one of this special two-part minisode, Jennifer shares her reflections from snowy Woodstock on seasons of change and transformation at this pivotal moment between winter and spring. Speaking from her own experience of profound transitions, Jennifer explores how nature's rhythms - from the sap preparing to run in trees to the vast networks of connection happening beneath the frozen ground - mirror our own processes of change and renewal. She introduces a powerful new framework that goes beyond VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) to help us understand today's rapidly shifting landscape, and shares insights on moving from brittleness to resilience. Through personal stories and thoughtful observations, Jennifer invites us to consider how we might bend rather than break in times of profound change, and find creativity and hope in the quiet work of transformation.
