They say it is inevitable to flip and read VUCA. I have heard that a strategic leader to master VUCA, but I surely keep on wondering how to manage through. I see the world becoming more complicated due to technological disruption. There is volatility as the job outlook is undergoing a rapid revolution. There is also ambiguity as the social systems that held people together turns chaotic. I also feel the future is more complicated as new ideas, forces and values emerge. I honestly do not know how to face the future but is confident it shall all be well.
Mental Models
To be certain, we are a product of assumptions, biases and perspectives. It should be that the superior path is overcoming the effects of the variables. If not well managed, they are undesirable for anyone at all as they skew talent, and crowd’s objectivity and correct judgment. I believe in avoiding the aberrant effect of biases and past experiences, and I should make a decision based on the ladder of inference. The ladder, of course, helps in avoiding personal influences as much as possible. It is the right pathway to avoiding mind traps that clog good judgment.
