Complicated and Complex. In our day-to-day lives, we tend to use those two terms interchangeably. When it comes to our leadership challenges, this can be unfortunate. There is a world of difference between a situation that is complicated and one that is complex.
Most of us do complicate quite well. Our whole educational system has trained us for ‘complicated.’
Complex, on the other hand, is something different altogether. ‘Complex’ implies uncertainty and not knowing – that can be quite a challenge no matter how smart we are.
From a leadership perspective, it means shifting focus from task to relationship orientation when navigating complex environments.
Not many managers are aware of how significant a shift this is. This is why I am offering a ten-lesson course delivered to your mailbox every other day ( free).
The format is micro-learning, a short series of lessons in email form, at most 400 words each. Each lesson offers high-level principles in digestible nuggets.
Easy to consume – hard to forget
