Leaders today are facing complexities that are unprecedented and unpredictable. Many of the leaders I work with are feeling overwhelmed and are at risk of burn-out as they constantly wrestle with the question, “How do I respond to what is being asked of me, when everything is constantly changing and the old ways of working are no longer working?” 

As a leader, how do you keep teams connected and engaged when working virtually? How do you pivot when suddenly your product or service becomes irrelevant when it was in demand only months ago? It’s incredibly challenging to come up with solutions for problems no one has anticipated. This increase in the rate of change and disruption organizations are experiencing is adding extra strain on the role of leadership.

Organizational life is becoming increasingly difficult as we navigate today’s complex challenges. One of my clients recently mentioned that she is seeing so much volatility and reaction in the people around her. I see it too. I think we are all seeing it to varying degrees.
