Key to thrive in complexity

The world we live in is the most complex any generation has ever seen. Social Media and instant connectivity within a global village forces change on people and business that they are not even aware of.

To be able to thrive within complexity two ingredients become the necessary foundation: Team Mastery and Resilience.

Resilience

People who are building a resilient lifestyle is able to handle the complexity that life will throw at them. They are able to know what to focus on and what not within a society of information and demand overload.

Team Mastery

Within business Team Mastery become a key ingredient to thrive. Teams that display high levels of mastery can thrive in complexity. Teams that are not able to be flexible, agile, open and know each other well, will not be able to even keep their head above the water in an era where Business is engulfed in VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty,Complexity and Ambiguity).

Tips to stay flexible and agile:

1. Grow professionally

If you continue to grow in your own mastery you will be able to handle tight situations, quick decision-making and other team members with much more professionalism.

2. Build Resilience into your core

Companies and individuals that are Resilient have the ability to thrive in complexity instead of just trying to stay above water.

3. Don't serve structures, but let the structure serve your strategy.

Many businesses start off well, but after a time of pioneering and putting structures in place to support continual growth, they tend to focus more on maintaining the structures after a few years rather than staying flexible in order to fulfil the demand of customers on a very high level.

Complexity is here to stay, flexibility is what will make businesses flourish long term. The challenge is yours, do you want to thrive or just survive?
