Wanted: Authentic Women Leaders in a VUCA World- Part 2

Have you been feeling that you are operating on autopilot? Is your mind filled with self-chatter, and you're feeling out of sorts? You may have slipped out of self-awareness, and it's easy to do in this hectic world. If so, take a pause and center using mindfulness, breathing, or whatever works for you to come back into being self-aware. And being self-aware is a journey and not a destination.

We live in VUCA times, Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity, with the Pandemic, racial inequality, political divisions, and climate change. The present situation calls for leaders at all levels of our society to help address these complex problems. Traditional ways of leading do not prepare leaders to work with the challenges VUCA brings. I advocate for authentic leaders, especially women leaders, guided by a sense of purpose and values to show up to have positive impacts on all these fronts.
