Have you ever heard someone use the word “VUCA”? It’s often tossed around as shorthand for, “Things are crazy out there!”
But VUCA isn’t just a buzzword. It stands for volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, four distinct conditions that challenge every leader.
This week, we’ll break down each one through both military and parenting examples, and explore how strong leaders can steady themselves and their teams when the world turns VUCA.

“I know what I like, and I like what I know.” While this is a great marriage mantra, it’s terrible for organizations who must constantly make changes to be competitive.
This week we look at John Kotter’s Eight-Step Change Model through the lens of one of my failures… and learn how to do it better.
If you have to drive organizational change, this one is for you.

In the moment, a major failure seems catastrophic. But hidden inside that collapse is the foundation for something stronger, if we choose to rebuild it.
Today, we’ll discuss how failure is similar to the five stages of grief and argue there’s a sixth phase to processing failure and that is improvement.
Fail up and be great today!

What is your superpower?
We all have one, but not everyone can readily identify what it is. This week we look at superpowers through the eyes of the Philadelphia Eagles and explore how we can find our own.
When we learn to drive our superpower forward, like the Eagles’ unstoppable push, there truly is no limit to how far we can move our teams.
Be great today!
