Leading in VUCA: Principals
for Emerging Leaders
`Eva McLellan B.Sc (Hon), M.Biotech
Let’s imagine for a minute…
What is VUCA?
-
• Volatility
• Uncertainty
• Complexity
• Ambiguity
Principles for
Career Ascent
Principles for
Leading Teams
Principles for
Personal
Development
Based on my experience … 3 sets of personal
principles in VUCA
Personal Development
Personal Development
It all starts with YOU
Self
Awareness:
Need to dig
deep to What
do you stand
for? Your moral
compass.
Aspirational
Career Vision:
What do you
want to achieve
and why? What
are you willing
to trade-off?
Sacrifice?
Regular
Reflection:
Step back
regularly to
reflect about
what is
working? what
isn’t? and what I
do about it?
Personal Development
Four clusters of tools I have found valuable
Self Awareness Tools :
• MBTI: Better understand yourself
• Insights discovery: Understand
how to best engage with others
• SDI personality test: Understand
how your behavior changes
during stress
• Strength finder 2.0: Build on
your strengths
• 360 evolution – understand
impressions you make on others.
Formal and/or informal, sample
forms available online
Systems
Thinking Tools:
• Decision
Criteria
• Mind maps
Inner Game
Tools: Head
Space App
• Courage
• Head Space
App
Reading Tools:
• Discover your
True North, Bill
George
• Never Eat Alone,
Keith Ferrazzi
• Understanding
Yourself, and
Others, Linda
Berens
Leading Teams
Leading teams in VUCA
Four bedrock principles
1. Focus on core communication is power
– Clear Vision
– Clear Aim
– Team Charter
2. Facilitate anticipation in your team by:
– Harness diversity of each individual
– Boundary spanning - authentic collaboration across boundaries
3. Coach individuals to embrace the challenge inherit in VUCA
– Some of the best leaders coach individuals to become comfortable to live
within the question
– If I fail, I will come back with learnings for you = you win
– If I success = you win
4. Learn from GEESE
Leading teams in VUCA
Learn from GEESE
• Guide
• Encourage
• Empathize
• Synergize
• Empower
Career Ascent
“Skate to where the puck is
going, not where it has been.”
- Wayne Gretzky
Where does my thinking on careers comes
from?
My
experience
(local and
global)
Top
leaders in
the
industry
Careers of
my
strongest
peers
Personal (and in progress) principles for
careers in VUCA
1. Be clear and steadfast about your true north.
2. Follow the blue ocean strategy; there is less
competition and more opportunity.
3. Develop a personal objectives cascade and review
it quarterly.
4. Take calculated risks. Develop your decision criteria
for career moves and then stick to them.
5. Find a mentor and a sponsor.
6. Ask for feedback, regularly.
7. Be a sponge; be genuinely curious, listen deeply,
and apply learnings consistently.
Things I’ve absorbed and have stuck with
me…
Humility
FISO
Trends watch
Unique value
SCARF Model
Confidence
CourageAnticipate
Prove yourself
Credibility
Internal
Consultant
Curiosity
Intellectual capital
The future is bright… enjoy the ride!
