Navigating Uncertainty: Expert Advice for a New Leader
In the ever-changing landscape of global politics and business, finding a strategy that can transform multipolar crises into opportunities for growth and success is of paramount importance. That's exactly what "How Leadership Succeeds in Uncertain Times," authored by Vera Starker and Katharina Roos, offers.
Published in Munich, Germany in 2025, the book emphasizes the need for confidence as a competence, going beyond hope alone to actively shape the future. The book's title in German, "Optimismus. Die neue Führung. Wie Führung in unsicheren Zeiten gelingt," reflects this focus on confidence and leadership in uncertain times.
The book is structured in a practical and application-oriented manner, similar to works on resilience and positive leadership. It provides a comprehensive approach to developing self-efficacy, productivity, and resilience, all key components in positively influencing transformation projects.
One of the book's unique aspects is its distinction between passive hope (u201cI hope everything will be okayu201d) and active confidence (u201cI have done everything to make it okayu201d). This theme is woven throughout the book, providing readers with a clear understanding of the importance of confidence in various leadership contexts, including self-leadership, relationships, teams, company level, change and transformation, and consulting.
To help readers assess their own levels of stress balance and resilience, the book includes short self-tests. It also delves into the role of confidence in consulting situations and process design, offering practical action options for leaders and managers to navigate constant crisis modes.
The book is aimed at leaders, entrepreneurs, and change managers, providing insights and tools that can be applied in various leadership contexts. The appendix includes a literature list and notes for further reading.
With a ISBN of 978-3-8006-7603-3, "How Leadership Succeeds in Uncertain Times" is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to develop their leadership skills and navigate the challenges of our uncertain times with confidence and effectiveness.
