No-one I speak to disputes the fact that we live in a VUCA world full of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. We are living in a world where change is ever greater, where the future is less predictable, where the options increase exponentially, and the way we think about these options has undoubtedly changed. Today, leaders are inundated with huge amounts of information and need to make decisions faster than ever.

“It might look and seem beautiful and calm; there is a significant difference in ineffective leadership, lack of leadership, and leadership that is in stasis.” Joe Thornell Sr. . All three leadership situations are damaging to the organization and the people. Ineffective leadership shows some attempt at leading, however for any number of reasons, there is an inability to make things happen.

I have always believed that the fastest path to the future is found through increasing velocity of change. I don’t believe I’ll get much push-back on that statement, but I’m rather certain I’ll encounter some resistance with my next one: Increasing velocity of change is best accomplished by slowing down. Most CEOs feel as if they’re in a race to change the future, and they would be correct.

The following is a guest piece by Dave Crenshaw. Have you become allergic to fun? I suppose it’s an abrupt question to ask. If I were to ask that of someone, I can understand them taking it personally and responding with “buzz off” or some incantation of that phrase. But, have you? Many of us have lost touch with our ability to enjoy, let alone have fun.

T HE WORLD IS full of drama. Rather than deal with reality in a constructive way, we engage in drama. It’s easier than working on what we need to deal with. It makes us feel like we are doing something. We like it, and we bring it to work. Cy Wakeman writes in No Ego , that we spend way too much time in the workplace dealing with drama caused by our egos.

You’re unique, and so am I. So, I’ve always been skeptical of articles with titles like “What Eight Incredibly Successful People Do Before Breakfast” or “The Six Things You Must Do to Succeed.”. Sure, it’s true that we humans are a lot alike, but we differ from each other in important ways. Most people, for example, are more productive and less likely to gain weight if they eat breakfast.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.

For our creativity to thrive and learning to happen, we need unburdened spaces in our life – physical spaces too, but most importantly, mental spaces. In a world of never-ending streams of updates, pictures and sound bites that constantly crave for our attention, we need an intentional effort to disconnect. We need to reclaim the disconnected and real space where we can make sense of it all, spend time reading a good book without getting anxious about sharing what we are reading, explore places

Guest post from R. Kendall Lyman and Tony C. Daloisio: Several months ago, we took a taxi from our hotel to our client to teach a class about change. After a longer than normal ride, we realized the driver didn’t know where to go. Because we didn’t speak the same language as the driver, we found it hard to communicate that we were going in the wrong direction.

I recently had a conversation with a coworker about confidence. We came to an ironic conclusion. Everyone is portraying themselves as confident. They have what it takes to get the job done. They are the ones you need to call if you need something done. Image by Evan Rummel. But is this really the case? Are people really confident? I don’t believe they are.

You may go about your days quite happily, leading others in the work that needs to be done. You move from this to that, get things done, interact and connect. And things are pretty good, but you sense there is more. There is nothing like the deep personal satisfaction you get when you know exactly what you are on earth for. I live this satisfaction daily and I want you to have that too.

I often hear from relatively senior managers that their even more senior managers constantly expect them to have detailed answers for any question that might pop into mind. The impact of this on the relatively senior managers is they feel like they’re always preparing for a pop quiz and, as a result, don’t have much time or mental bandwidth left for higher value-added work.
