If you are like me, your organization is or has been on an unending quest for change. With change comes uncertainty, and with uncertainty comes opportunity. A leader is often defined by the risk one takes and the trust his/her subordinates have in their leader to navigate through the change effort.
Fellow blogger and leadership expert Dan Rockwell recently wrote a piece that struck home with me regarding the role that uncertainty plays in leadership development. Check it out below with other resources that may provide guidance.
- "3 Things Great Leaders Know about Managing Change." Mary C. Schaefer. Lead Change Group.
- "How to Move Through Uncertainty to Opportunity." Dan Rockwell, Leadership Freak.
- "Leadership in an Age of Uncertainty." Deborah Ancona, MIT Leadership Center. 2005.
- "The Trustworthy Leader." Amy Lyman.
