This document discusses three facets of complexity that leaders must respond to: plurality, temporality, and shifting ground. For each facet, it identifies opportunities and challenges, how best to respond, and who or what contributes to an effective response. Plurality involves integrating knowledge across boundaries, which requires bridging functions and developing shared norms. Temporality means addressing both short-term pressures and long-term flexibility. Shifting ground necessitates anticipation strategies and inviting shared leadership to adapt to environmental changes. Overall, the document argues that effectively responding to complexity requires reflexive learning, bringing together practitioner and scholar expertise, and leading under conditions of uncertainty without hierarchy.
