VUCA Ready® Leadership

The Five Categories of VUCA Readiness

VUCA Ready® - Initial Response - Bobbie LaPorte

This is your first reaction to getting hit with a curveball. Do you automatically default to autopilot?

How fast can you move past any initial negative reactions to determining your best next move?  

In practice:  work on pausing before you react to a difficult or challenging situation. This will give you time to consider what is possible and make a different choice.

VUCA Ready® - Contagion - Bobbie LaPorte

This is about creating systems to role-model and support the behavior change you need to make your new confidence contagious.

Can your team operate dependently when they need to and find their own next move?

In practice: show your team how you approach risk-taking and decision-making differently now and equip them with the tools and resources to make “in-the-moment” decisions.

VUCA Ready® - Pushback - Bobbie LaPorte

This is about having coping mechanisms for the challenge and pushback you will likely encounter when your response goes against the status quo.

Are you engaging your peers who may be critical or doubting your approach?

In practice: make sure that your team members know that you will have their back when they do the same.

VUCA Ready® - Impact - Bobbie LaPorte

This means redefining what influence in the organization looks like now.

Do you understand how the expanded capabilities of your team can contribute to the company’s goals?

In practice: help your team uncover and deploy their skills and talents in ways that benefit the broader organization.

VUCA Ready® - Agency - Bobbie LaPorte

This means understanding that making mistakes is now part of the process.

How confident are you to act without knowing the end result?

In practice: think of defining your confidence to act in terms of your ability to produce results no matter what is happening, and not in feeling fully comfortable with every decision.
