For leaders that choose to be in chaotic environments and have any chance of surviving much less thriving, we need to be able to find the opportunities in the chaos and be able to communicate those opportunities. We work in an environment that follows the law of thermodynamics where entropy, everything moves toward disorder, so leadership is fighting this law of nature EVERDAY and being able to have clarity on what the chaos is and how to thrive is core.
open to the chaos and listening to find opportunities in the chaos
communicate a path to Success - Following up on Chaos. We work with smart people. Providing a vision of how to succeed in the chaos is important. People see and know about the forces that bring chaos. Leadership is being able to communicate to others about the chaos and the path through it.
leading the effort to break things down into repeatable processes
ability to take critiques and course correct. "Greatness is found in the agency of others". A leader is ultimately accountable for the success or failure of a task, mission or expedition. However, a leader must solicit input and criticism to ensure that they have all of the information necessary to ensure a successful mission.
