When faced with complex challenges or uncertain outcomes, many leaders
believe that if they are smart enough, work hard enough, or turn to the
best management tools, they will be able to find the right answer,
predict and plan for the future, and break down tasks to produce
controllable results. But what are leaders to do when this isn't the
case?
Rather than offering one-size-fits-all tips and tricks drawn from the
realm of business as usual, Simple Habits for Complex Times provides
three integral practices that enable leaders to navigate the unknown. By
taking multiple perspectives, asking different questions, and seeing
more of their system, leaders can better understand themselves, their
roles, and the world around them. They can become more nimble, respond
with agility, and guide their organizations to thrive in an
ever-shifting business landscape. The more leaders use these simple
habits, the more they enhance their performance and solve increasingly
common, sticky business issues with greater acumen.
Whether in large or small organizations, in government or the private
sector, in the U.S. or overseas, leaders will turn to this book as a
companion that helps them grow into the best version of themselves.
