Today’s discussion focuses on complexity. In comparison to the other aspects of VUCA, complexity often stems from too much information rather than too little. You and your team may find it difficult to parse the information and identify cause-and effect-relationships.

The key is to focus on the things you do know.

We discuss prioritizing transparent and consistent communication that can help you and other leaders mine the knowledge that exists within your organization. We offer strategies to foster clear and concise communication, create alignment, and encourage collaboration to help your teams work effectively through unpredictable situations. 

We wrap-up with box breathing – a simple technique you can use to bring balance to your thoughts and energy. Whether you’re feeling tired or abuzz, box breathing can help you find an even keel.
