Leaders today face significant uncertainty.  Change and complexity are a steady presence.

In a Harvard Business Review article titled, “6 Strategies for Leading Through Uncertainty,” the authors suggest the following strategies to accelerate learning and navigate increasing complexity.

• Acknowledge feelings of discomfort about not having the answers.  Embrace the unknown with a learner’s mindset.  
• Distinguish between the technically complicated and complexity borne out of interdependencies and dilemmas.
• Let go of perfectionism.  Instead, shoot for measurable progress.
• With complex challenges, slow down, take a disciplined approach.  Resist oversimplification and quick conclusions. 
• Reach out to your network for fresh perspectives and insights.
• Pull back.  Look at the issue from a more systemic vantage point.
