Overview

Your organization is a highly Complex Adaptive System-and so are the people you lead. Many leaders expect an organization to operate more like a machine, but that leads to failure. Outcomes in business are unpredictable, yet decisions are made based on assumptions of certainty that don't include the interdependence and emergence of your employees, customers, supply chain, and eventually, success. Complexity can be a competitive advantage, though, when you embrace it. There is no way to bring certainty and determinism back to our life and work. We can only learn and adapt continually to lead and influence through uncertainties. Anu Rathninde, president of Aptiv Electrical Distribution Systems-Asia Pacific, shares his practical strategy for tackling complexity in the Knowledge Era. Bridging ancient Asian wisdom and modern science, this guide leverages the best leadership philosophies with the right mindset to help you tackle complexity, manage yourself as you manage others, and transform your organization by putting people decisions and interactions first. You'll learn: Why the leader-follower paradigm of business management doesn't help you deliver on commitments in the face of change. The SIILA model to build strategic habits and better connect with your company and outside stakeholders. How to use systems thinking and internalization to understand your motivation as a leader while creating positive emergence. Tough love interactions that prioritize candor, identify your knowledge gap, and solve issues before they escalate. A personal change plan with the potential to transform your leadership and your life for the better. Outcomes may be uncertain, but success doesn't need to be-when you adapt with complexity! Get Tackling Complexity and harness the power of complexity to reinvent your organization and yourself.
