Leading in a changing world with Megan Jaffe

Leaders globally have been facing a shift and change in what our people want in a way that has never happened before. Traditional leadership styles are no longer feasible.

We are leading in an era of declining trust, rise in fake news and the alternative view. It is also an ever evolving landscape of employee, client and digital expectations.

I remember sitting at a conference a few years ago where we VUCA was the buzz word. VUCA stands for  volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous, well today it is VUCA at an accelerated pace.

How does a future fit leader manage in this accelerated pace of change we are experiencing.

First, we have unlearn some of how we lead in the past. And the best example of that is embracing this hybrid world of work. How, where and when work was done has changed and it will never go back.

Leaders need to invest in learning, great leaders are not born and leadership is a journey of life long learning.  

American social philosopher Eric Hoffer said it best when he wrote, “In times of change, learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists”.

In this podcast I chat with Megan Jaffe who has been the number 1 Ray White office in New Zealand for over 7 years. She leads a team who simply love working with her.
