Beschreibungen
VUCA is not just another acronym. Originally coined by the American military to describe a situation fraught with a variety of challenges, it now has a permanent place in the realms of strategic leadership. Those who have made it into an enterprise management role are finding that their leadership skills are truly being tried and tested on account of the volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous environment we are in.
Agility is now the name of the game. Developing one's leadership skills to match this requirement, and to not only surmount the challenges posed by the VUCA world but do so in a mature and authentic way, is what this book is all about. It gently submerges the reader into an impressive tank of knowledge that the authors, experts in the field of personal development, have amassed during their careers. Psychology, mythology and examples of real-life enterprises are accompanied by the excellent analogy of one of our best-known heroes, Luke Skywalker of the Star Wars films, to illustrate that there is nothing to fear, that we all have the potential to act courageously.
At regular intervals throughout the book, the reader is presented with thought-provoking questions and statements, the answers to which will help them eventually resurface with a clear picture of how to use their skills and talents to motivate themselves and others to proceed wisely in the corporate landscape.
Contents:
- An expert guide from three vastly experienced and accomplished executive coaches
- Learn effectively at your own pace, any time and anywhere
- Convincing background knowledge and examples

Michael Fuchs (born 1966) is one of the most progressive leadership experts in Germany. His style is refreshingly irritating, unorthodox and exceptionally efficient. Michael Fuchs creates a unique connection between science and practical application, between Western and Eastern approaches, with the goal of bringing simplicity and trust back into the heart of every organisation.
