Todays transformation leader has information coming to them from many sources and they must cultivate an open mind to that information. We live in what’s been termed a VUCA world – volatility, Un-certainty, Complexity, and ambiguity. The more feedback mechanisms, the more you have organizations where people realize the no one person ca have the best solution. The best ideas may come from a 20 year-old who’s living in Shanghai or Doha. It is a constant feedback loop. Some of the best leaders have the ability to incorporate what might be referred to as a compass, or a broader purpose. However, a purpose statement, or a vision statement in itself is not a strategy. But it is a compass. We live in a world that is looking for quick hits, looking for quick action. But there has to be a trend line. Those compasses, those purposes, help drive that. A compass, or a purpose, just gives you a sense of where true north is. What we actually stand for? (T. Wolstencroft, Mckinsey 2015)
