Episode 29: Effective Leadership Through Crisis

In this week's episode, we focus on leading effectively through crises. We discuss the increasing frequency of crises in the global landscape and emphasize the importance for leaders to navigate these challenges adeptly. We tackled the distinction between VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) environments and true crises, with reference to the Cynefin framework, to assess different situations. Remember, crises are not just challenges to overcome but as stepping stones to greater success and growth.
