Leadership Challenges of a VUCA World (Prof Sattar Bawany, 2023) "It is evident that conventional leadership development practices are no longer adequate. Organizations globally need to incorporate the next generation leadership competencies including cognitive readiness in order to address the development needs of their rising leaders. This expanded group of upcoming leaders needs to have a broader skillset, one that equips them to think and act globally in a VUCA business environment. They must do so while embracing cross-cultural diversity and cultivating collaborative relationships within and outside their walls. These are the hallmarks of the mindset needed to develop effective global leaders in today’s highly disruptive VUCA world."

Introduction to VUCA: The acronym VUCA stands for Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity. First introduced by the US Army War College during the end of the Cold War, it vividly describes our rapidly changing world with its multilayered & interdependent issues. In a business context, the concept of VUCA has become a cornerstone in leadership development, challenging today's leaders to rise above conventional thinking and embrace a new paradigm for success.

Meeting the Leadership Challenges in a VUCA World: In this dynamic and complex environment, having the ability to innovate disruptively is both essential for business growth and for defending one's market position against the forces of Industry 4.0. But leading through innovation in a VUCA World demands new mindsets and behaviors. Leaders must develop competencies tailored for leading disruptive innovation, and understand that such leadership requires resilience, agility, and most importantly, cognitive readiness.
