Whether they like it or not, business leaders will continue to be confronted with greater turbulence and doubt. The authors argue that the shift towards an environment characterized by rapid change, discontinuities and ambiguity necessitates three special capabilities that are not readily apparent in many of today's organizations: taking an ecological perspective on the part of the organization in a interconnected web of interdependencies; helping individuals make sense of the events and accelerated changes they are experiencing; and comprehension and working constructively with severe anxiety states.
They describe each ability in detail and reveal that we are experiencing a paradigm shift for many people think about leadership.
