Welcome to the world of vigilant leadership! If you're ready to proactively address challenges, seize opportunities, and become a more adaptable leader in our unpredictable VUCA (volatile uncertain complex ambiguous) world, this course is for you.
We'll start by defining the core characteristics that set vigilant leaders apart. You'll learn how they scan the horizon for threats and opportunities, embrace curiosity, and act decisively even with incomplete information. We'll dispel the myth that leaders must always know it all!
