Focus: Agile Leadership
Leading in the VUCA world
Brief description
In volatile times characterised by uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity, the demands on leadership have risen significantly. The idea of the manager as a lone hero who saves a situation is increasingly proving to be inappropriate. Today's working world and technological developments require an expanded understanding of leadership, which sees itself as a ‘framework setter for the empowerment of individuals and teams’. In addition, it is important to deal productively with diversity in order to develop better solutions in complex environments. This also includes a new view of organisations, moving away from functional thinking towards cross-functionality that complements each other in problem solving.
