Navigating the Unexpected
/
The unexpected is becoming the norm.
The world has gone from complicated to complex.
Small changes can have a dramatic effect.
Expertise won’t suffice because changes are happening too fast. In an age of epic change, strengthening our flexibility and adaptability as leaders requires imagination, humility, creativity, experimentation and bravery. The less we know about how to navigate the unexpected, the more we need these messy human skills.
Bravery is pivotal because expanding our flexibility, adaptability and agility leaves us vulnerable to making mistakes. Yet mistakes and other unexpected outcomes show us what works, what doesn’t work, and what could work better.
As Epic Leaders, are we brave enough to reimagine and invent things that we’ve never seen before? If so, we can create with clear intention and commitment a very desirable future.
