- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Sunnie Giles draws from quantum mechanics, complexity science, systems theory, neuroscience, psychology, and business to identify six leadership competencies required to catalyze radical innovation in organizations. Giles admits she limited the book’s focus to what and why to the exclusion of a detailed discussion of how because of the volume of content she wanted to convey. Nonetheless, this is a fascinating and useful read. Giles explains the new ways leaders must think in a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) world. She draws from research conducted in multiple disciplines to make a convincing case of why common business practices have become obsolete. She then explains what leaders need to do to deal with the realities of today’s business environment in order to propel their organizations forward. This book is not for those seeking explanations for how to implement incremental changes. Giles has written for those who are prepared to take their organizations to the cutting edge of their fields. If you are not one of those individuals, then read this book to discover why you need to be if you and your organization are to remain relevant in a rapidly changing world.
