Thrive in Uncertainty

“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.”
— Socrates

  • You reduced expenses, paused projects and deferred everything possible. It’s as if there was a big red “stop” button and you hit it hard. You had to. It was the only way to survive. You know things can’t stay like this much longer, but you feel caught betwixt and between. On one hand, you feel a strong urge to just get things back to normal—to the way they were—but something in your gut is screaming to you, “hey… maybe there is a better way.”

    When faced with an unexpected change you have a choice. Fight to regain what was or harness the energy of change to build what can be—one step at a time.

Foundations of our approach

alignment-chartAlignment

Thrive in Uncertainty ignites teams to perform at their highest level by equipping leaders to tap into the drivers of human behavior. This process supports the virtuous cycle of organization and team development through the alignment of compassionate leadership, emotional steadiness, strategic clarity and focused teams—choreographed to support individual engagement. Failure to give adequate attention to each of these forces will result in dysfunctional teams that perform poorly. This truth is heightened during times of disruptive change and uncertainty. 

Compassionate Leadership

In times of change, compassionate leaders deliver a competitive advantage. Research shows that organizations with compassionate leaders have better collaboration, lower turnover, and employees who are more trusting, more connected to each other, and more committed to the organization1.  

Emotional Steadiness

Emotionally steady workers have a greater sense of wellbeing and fewer physical symptoms of stress, such as aggressive behavior, headaches and overindulging in food and alcohol2. A more resilient workforce will be better able to navigate the rough waters of a volatile and uncertain external environment.

Strategic Clarity

Strategic clarity instills confidence and optimism in your workforce and external stakeholders. This enables you to provide a steady, realistic direction that moves the organization forward, even when the path ahead is choppy.

Focused Teams

This new reality, where change is the constant not the exception, requires distributed decision making. This must be anchored by a deep connection to the mission and values of the organization and a clear understanding of its strategic priorities. We use proven techniques that have resulted in realized gains between 38–100% for deadlines, 25–80% for productivity, 83% for client satisfaction and 74% for team morale3.

Our clients think we’re pretty gnarly

The organization dialogue was one of my most favorite days in my tenure with the organization. A day of positivity. A day of hope. A day we realized our hopes and dreams were possible. As a new CEO, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
