This book delves into uncharted territory, offering an extensive exploration of the future of organizations and how they should be led. In a world characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA), traditional organizational paradigms no longer suffice. Instead, this book introduces a visionary framework for the leadership of tomorrow's organizations, one that adapts to the unique demands of each situation.
Drawing on insights from interviews with 12 subject matter experts, this research-driven work challenges the relevance of twentieth-century leadership styles in the VUCA era. The experts highlight the importance of metagovernance, complexity leadership, and sense-making as essential components of navigating the ever-evolving landscape of modern organizations.
Central to this exploration is the question of how to develop a context-specific leadership management framework capable of guiding organizations through simple, complicated, complex, and chaotic contexts. This book not only identifies the pressing need for such a framework but also provides a comprehensive blueprint for its creation.
This book is a valuable resource for those who wish to understand the future of organizational leadership and how it can adapt to the challenges and opportunities of the twenty-first century. It not only reshapes the current understanding of leadership but also offers practical insights that will shape the organizations of the future.
