Leadership in VUCA times is more like an alpha wolf than a general

Leadership in VUCA times

In the flocks of wolves, the leader does not always go to the front.

When there is a storm or danger, it moves back, to observe everyone, to ensure that no one is left behind and to keep the direction.

When there is calm, give way to the younger to learn, make mistakes and strengthen the group.

That balance between firmness and care, between direction and listen, is what holds the herd.

Leadership is not in shouting orders, but in transmitting security and purpose.

In volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous contexts, a leader who only gives instructions creates fragile obedience.

But a leader who accompanies with responsibility, calm and clarity creates confidence.
And trust is the only thing that keeps the herd together in the midst of chaos.

Leadership in VUCA times is not controlling the storm.

It is the point of reference that gives calm when the noise increases, and the one that opens the way when peace returns.
