About this title

Synopsis

Can chaos be a gift?

When dealt with effectively, it can lead to greater innovation, better teamwork, better interpersonal relations and better performance.

But in order to achieve this within a changing and demanding VUCA environment, leaders and non-leaders must first learn to lead themselves. This guide will show you how to exactly that within our own turbulent times.

Chaos is a Gift? offers practical realities and specific recommendations on how to lead yourself in the private and public sectors, the academic world and conflict/post-conflict environments.

This book is ideal for leaders in a broad range of environments, including the business, private, academic, and public sectors, and conflict/post-conflict environments.
