Listen "Simple Habits for Complex Times"
Episode Synopsis
Simple Habits for Complex Times, explores leadership practices necessary for navigating today's volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environments. The authors advocate for cultivating specific habits of mind, such as asking different questions, taking multiple perspectives, and seeing systems, to move beyond traditional, predictable approaches. Through illustrative scenarios, like Yolanda's challenges in child protective services and Squint's at a growing software company, the book emphasizes the importance of experimentation, feedback, and embracing uncertainty to foster growth in both individuals and organizations. Ultimately, it argues for a shift towards a growth mindset and the ability to lead change as the new normal.
