LEADERS LEAN INTO UNCERTAINTY - WITH STRATEGY

Yes, even in uncertain times leaders can be strategic.

Here are three resources that share framing and principles for supporting leaders who navigate uncertainty.

  • This blog post from HBR breaks down the difference between deliberate and emergent strategy. The big AHA moment for me in reading this is that in the global development/social impact space our context for leadership always requires an emergent approach.

  • A more detailed and expanded definition of emergent strategy can be found in this blog post from Indeed.

  • This interview with adrienne maree brown dives in even more deeply on how ideas from her book, Emergent Strategy, can play as we envision and create the future we need and want.

THE PRACTICE

Take a moment to think about an area of your life where you are "leading" right now. What approaches are you using to move towards the outcome or impact needed? How might emergent strategy support you in your leadership?
