The leadership challenge

This chapter is designed to rethink leadership in this Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) world we live in. Leaders are having to learn new skill sets including leading remotely. We are all leaders whether we have the title not, as we need to lead ourselves, our bosses and our colleagues at some point and to some degree and on most days. I will explain the styles that leaders can use, and the strengths, skills and behaviours required to be effective leaders. You will learn how leaders think, what they do and how they do it. There are tips on how to involve colleagues so as to keep them motivated, how to empower and delegate, and how to make decisions both on an individual basis and within groups.
