In this engaging episode, I welcome back Kevin Eikenberry, a repeat guest on the show, to discuss his upcoming book, "Flexible Leadership: Navigate Uncertainty and Lead with Confidence," set for release in early 2025. We explore the critical role of confidence in leadership, especially amidst today's chaotic and fast-paced world. Kevin shares insights on the importance of self-awareness and the often-overlooked value of confidence in leadership development. We delve into the concept of sense-making and the challenges of adapting to a world that is no longer as predictable as it once was. Kevin introduces the Cynefin framework, a tool for understanding different contexts in leadership, and discusses the balance between flexibility and having a strong backbone. We also touch on the significance of purpose in guiding decisions and fostering commitment over mere compliance.
