Leading in a Changing World
Strategies for navigating unpredictable change and ongoing uncertainty.
We are all impacted by the current state of our country and the world. The worldwide pandemic and spotlight on racial injustices, along with ongoing civil and political unrest, and escalating impacts of climate change are requiring us to reflect deeply, question our beliefs and our systems, and engage in overdue conversations and action.
Our lives are in a state of upheaval that isn’t going anywhere soon. Uncertainty might be the only consistent thing. We are regularly finding ourselves in circumstances that require us to adapt in a matter of minutes and days, not months or years. At the same time, so much is unknown. We are creating our own maps while on the journey. People are afraid, angry, and feeling vulnerable and unsure. There is also optimism, joy, and connection happening. Everywhere you look, there are incredible acts of courage, kindness, and ingenuity.
At this point, you are quite familiar with uncertainty, having lived through the last few years and looking forward at the anticipated escalating impacts of climate change and evolving cultural expectations. What’s unique to this moment is history is the speed and unpredictability of change, and the hard truth that for better or worse, our world is changing permanently.
Now, more than ever, leaders at every level of the service need to step into their leadership with more confidence as they navigate uncertainty and global change.
