Advanced Leader Certificate Program Info Session

Coping with volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA) is the hallmark and the new normal of today’s interdependent world. VUCA challenges profoundly influence how leaders lead, make sense of the world, and take action to make a difference. In addition, today’s participatory workforce expects organizations to utilize their talent, drive, and skills in ways that are much more interactive, more collaborative, and less bureaucratic. They have a high need to work for leaders who inspire trust, nurture environments of psychological safety and belonging, and articulate a vision that connects the organization to a greater purpose.
