Leadership in Uncertainty

The Leadership Challenge Middle East

Uncertainty is real. By definition it is unexpected.
Organizations are faced with uncertainty ... from economic factors, to pandemics, to climate change... to meeting sales targets and even if the client meeting will begin on time.
Uncertainty can lead to significant impacts on resources and time or the impact may be minor, and even fleeting.
Leaders will have built relationship with their followers and in doing so there is trust.
Leaders communicate, empathize, they value the ideas of those they are leading, they listen and they ask "What if .....?"
In times - or moments - of uncertainty, they ask "What do we know - now ?" "What are we learning now ?"
Leaders don't always have the answers.
But their leadership will bring clarity, reassurance and likely a clear path out of uncertainty, willingly drawing on the ideas, and wisdom of those they are leading.
