Leading at the Edge of Chaos

Leaders don't need an introduction to chaos. They live in it every day. The question is, do you see chaos as another opportunity to thrive when you go to work? Or is it a reason to stay away from work and disengage? In this book, we look at chaos as a leader's most significant opportunity to succeed by exploiting their own potential. Chaos is fundamentally flux, and cataclysmic events seem to come from nowhere. Frequently, causality is elusive, and the reasons for career-ending upheavals do not seem to be rational. Leaders cannot expect that the decisions that are made about their careers make sense. After all, risk and danger are a fact of life that is often associated with chaotic environments. Injury is possible and likely. Harm can be emotional, psychological, and even physical, and it is only seconds or inches away. Damage can also be life-changing. The bottom line is that if we don't approach the edge, we stay in the commodity world and compete on price to do what everyone else is doing. Sustained winning at the edge is the best place for opportunities and profits. Someone with a passion can pursue the organization's creative energy at the edge.
