What insights did the pandemic reveal about leadership?
There's lots to talk about regarding what's happening on technology and global policy and in our environment. But I think that moment hopefully marked a wake-up call for all leaders that it wasn't like we were just going to get through that pandemic and be done and go back to normal. We need to retool how we think about what is going to be our new normal. And I'll just even put a finer point on it, Jason, I think about all the time. About 10 years ago, when we wrote Moments of Impact, which was really a guidebook to help leaders have conversations about the future, how to bring multiple perspectives together to discover the future so that they're not blindsided by the present, we opened up by defining this term VUCA that you hear quite a lot these days, which stands for volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, coined by U.S.
military planners in the early 90s. And I often think like, we thought we were VUCA then. This is like peak VUCA. And one more point on that is that this today, whenever our listeners are listening, could be the most simple VUCA of days to come. So again, just pointing out that we can't expect the world to simplify. We have to adapt and change.
