Our expert tips and helpful framework will help nonprofit and social sector leaders navigate challenges when facing uncertainty so they can better serve their teams, organizations, and communities.
Leading Through Uncertainty
Disruption and ambiguity can trap people in a state of reactivity, or serve as a catalyst for change. Your teams need the skills to navigate leadership through uncertainty now — and we’re ready to deliver.
Leading in Uncertain Times Is Challenging — We Can Help
In today’s rapidly changing landscape of interconnected disruptions, complexity, and chaos, organizations need people who can adapt and thrive.
Partner with us to build the capabilities your organization urgently needs for bold and effective leadership through uncertainty. We can customize development for your leaders — drawing on our foundation of rigorous research — with flexible, 1-day intensives on critical topics. Used together or separately, they create a brief, powerful learning experience to grow the skills needed most right now:
If disruption is depleting your senior leaders’ ability to chart an integrated path forward, our 1-day collective agility training is the reframe they need.
Collective Agility develops capabilities to drive change and transformation across the organization. It equips leaders to manage ambiguity and create alignment when leading through uncertainty. This intensive combines our extensive research into change and leadership culture with experience-based learning.
- Evidence-based best practices on enabling collaboration in the face of uncertainty and rapid change
- Shared sense-making sessions with peers foster reflection
When uncertainty is the only certainty, a strategic approach is more critical than ever. Your leaders need more than operational skills — they need the capacity to think, act, and influence strategically.
Increase their capacity with Leading Strategically, a 1-day module available standalone or in combination with other topics. This intensive elevates individual leader capabilities to visualize interdependencies and drive outcomes.
- Case studies, practical tools, and a proven model help participants learn to map their strategic landscape, anticipate disruption, and align teams
Leading in uncertainty means facing complex choices every day. This requires more than knowledge — it demands judgment under pressure. Your senior leaders must be ready to tackle high-stakes decisions with confidence and clarity.
Decision Dynamics is a 1-day intensive that equips them to tackle today’s complex decisions, take decisive action, and communicate rationale.
- Real-world simulations equip leaders to balance short-term needs with long-term strategy, overcome biases, and cut through complexity to make confident, high-stakes calls — coming away with the ability to act decisively and align stakeholders
Reactivity Isn’t Sustainable — Ongoing Leadership Through Uncertainty Requires Resilience
Managing complex, interconnected challenges across multiple teams, departments, and functions is incredibly challenging, and leadership through uncertainty and ongoing disruption can take a toll.
Executives often feel trapped in endless urgency, reacting to one challenge or crisis after another, without the space to move beyond reactivity, become more strategic, and address root causes.
Enable your leaders to move beyond reactivity and balance immediate demands with future strategy — turning disruption into opportunity.
Supporting them — and your organization’s future — with timely leadership development will help your leaders navigate conflicting priorities, make difficult decisions, increase innovation, build trust on teams, and foster resilience for themselves and others.
Partner with us to develop the essential leadership capabilities that your organization needs today.
