Living and Leading Through Uncertainty is intended for those who
have an interest in: 1. understanding more about leaders’ lived
experience of uncertainty; 2. what a capability for uncertainty is
and the key components which constitute it; and 3. guidelines for
developing leaders’ capability for uncertainty. Likely target
audiences for this book are leaders, sponsors of leadership
development and leadership coaching in organisations, and executive
or leadership coaches. This book has three parts to it. Part A The
first chapter clarifies the meaning of experienced uncertainty as a
precursor to exploring leaders’ lived experience of uncertainty,
that is, their personal uncertainty and challenges in their
leadership role during organisational uncertainty. In the second
chapter, the notion of a capability for uncertainty is explained,
based on an understanding of what capability for uncertainty
leaders develop through their lived experience of uncertainty. Part
B incorporates five chapters, with each one addressing a key
component of a capability of uncertainty. These components are: (1)
an acceptance of uncertainty, (2) effective sense-making, (3)
learning agility, (4) a sense of positive identity, and (5)
relevant leadership practices during organisational uncertainty. In
each chapter I give a brief theoretical overview of the component.
This is followed with guidelines for leaders who wish to develop
that component, so they can become better able to enhance their own
overall capability for uncertainty. While these chapters have a
self-development focus for leaders, the guidelines contained
therein are potentially useful for sponsors of leadership
development and leadership coaching in organisations – as well as
for executive or leadership coaches interested in developing
leaders’ capability for uncertainty. Part C addresses the
implications for leadership development in organisations towards
developing leaders’ capability for uncertainty more intentionally
and explicitly. In particular, the questions of where to target the
development of leaders’ capability for uncertainty in
organisations, and how, are considered. There is also an emphasis
on leadership coaching as one viable option for developing this
capability in leaders.
