You know that saying “When you’re a hammer… all you see is a nail.”
Or maybe you know the song: “If I had a hammer, I’d hammer in the morning, I’d hammer in the evening…all over this land.”
We all can be hammers sometimes. Clinging to our default settings – refusing to flex to the moment we’re in.
As leaders, we need to be more than just our strengths. We need agility – the ability to adapt and thrive in the face of the unexpected.
We’re navigating a landscape defined by unprecedented change, a technological super cycle where advancements, particularly in biotech, AI, and connected devices, are occurring at a breakneck pace.
We’re also seeing globalization sweeping across industries, unprecedented workforce diversity and relentless competition.
Many have described this moment using the shorthand “VUCA” which stands for:
Volatility: rapid and unpredictable change.
Uncertainty: unforeseen events and issues.
Complexity: intertwined forces and unclear cause-and-effect relationships.
Ambiguity: mixed messages and unclear realities.
In her recent SXSW 2024 talk, Amy Webb argues that for Gen T, the “Transition Generation”, agility is becoming a key competency for leaders, organizations and individuals alike.
Increasingly, it seems, organizations and people—require agility to navigate the work-world.
Leaders need agile teams, but individuals also need to cultivate agility within themselves.
But how do we cultivate agility in a world that is constantly throwing curveballs?
