Today’s
leaders and managers have to operate in an environment characterised by
complexity. What does coping with this ever- and faster-increasing degree of
complexity require of them? It means that if they are to deal successfully with
all the challenges they need to reconsider their leadership approaches.



Leading in Hyper-complexity is dedicated to all
experienced managers and leaders who lead across space and time while
simultaneously operating in ‘conventional’ structures. It takes a closer look
at how to lead, and how to navigate in today’s complex and sometimes
unpredictable business environment.




Anyone
experienced in tackling today’s complexity will know that you cannot expect to
find easy-to-follow recipes for success. But we are not powerless, as is shown
by the ten in-depth interviews with top managers from different cultures
featured in this book. These describe in very practical terms their personal
and professional struggles with complexity. 




Based
on decades of consulting and coaching experience working with such leaders and
managers, the authors describe seven modular ‘Apps’ which they have developed
to assist in dealing with complexity in the work environment. These Apps enable
readers to get a better understanding of the ‘complexity mix’ in their own
environments and then make a positive impact with the results they create.




But just a word of warning! There is still a lot to
understand in order to be fit for the next leadership generation. To foster
further work and inspiration in this direction the authors have shared a lot of
their ‘work in progress’ in the extended Appendix.
