About this course:

Leaders across industries and sectors must contend with multiple megatrends that collectively create highly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) organizational contexts. Among the many trends directly impacting the requisite skills and competencies for today’s leadership, four megatrends are paramount for shaping how current and future leaders should focus their personal development: (a) the digital transformational, artificial intelligence (AI), and automation; (b) the multi-generational workforce and socio-demographic shifts; (c) COVID-19, climate change, and the likelihood of future extreme events; and (d) the changing nature of work and organizations, particularly the advance of digital technologies and work-from-home policies accelerated via the pandemic. Within the incredibly turbulent and complex context of these forces, leaders must focus their personal development on the most important competencies for driving organizational success. Students in this course will examine the specific leadership competencies that are most effective in VUCA organizational contexts.
