VUCA: Leaders and their strategies—Now and then
The leaders in every business, public administration,
education, science, culture, entertainment etc. are dealing
with VUCA atmosphere on a daily basis. They form
various strategies according to their industry or locality.
However, ill-prepared plans worsen the existing
situation. Similarly, leaders who started in stable times
find it difficult to match with the present highly turbulent
digital age.
This is because, most of the old heroes are comfortable
with a gradual changes and stick to industry boundaries.
Rather than launching working on breakthrough
advancements, they prefer analyzing rivals’ strategies
and scaling end-products slightly more efficient than the
previous ones. This standard planning system is radically
affected by the current global market and most of the
leading companies have failed to match the speed of the
market. Remember Kodak? —the pioneer in
cameras—now struggling with keeping its name in the
industry.
VUCA: the Fighting Species
The question is who are suitable for thriving in the
VUCA world? And the answer is—there are too many
elements that are beyond the control but those who are
flexible as well as open to change and dare for new
experience can hope for a success. This can be referred
as acrobatic learning, investing continual efforts day and
night to achieve anything more than competitors, moving
forward to new ideas and preparing to fight in the
tomorrow’s world.
About twenty years ago, no one would have believed
that space rockets would be recycled, sent and received
safely like an email. This unthinkable milestone is
achieved by a private spaceflight company, SpaceX. One
rocket with minimal mileage, moderate lift capacity, can
used for delivery of goods to Earth-orbit, and 100%
success rate in flying back to earth!
