Agility: management principles for a volatile world fills a tremendous need in the marketplace for a practical set of principles to help managers become more agile. Today's volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world has created a dynamic, ever-changing, and hypercompetitive global marketplace, challenging managers to think differently. The apprehension of the present moment experienced by managers across industries, sectors, and markets demands a new way of understanding the nuances involved with navigating today's chaos to achieve and sustain growth. With the speed of change, disruption, and transformation expected to increase exponentially now is the opportune time for organizations to rethink the common management paradigms of power (we are bigger), speed (we move faster), or force (we can acquire). Agility, more so, than power, speed, or force is the Kairos for managers today. In archery, Kairos, the ancient Greek word for a proper or opportune time for action, denotes the moment in which an arrow may be fired with suffcient force to reach a target. Now is an opportune time for managers to become more agile and shift their position from one of planning, organizing, staffing, directing, or controlling to one of being a curator, architect, conductor, humanist, advocate, and pioneer. This shift from doing to being is paramount for the agile manager. Agility: management principles for a volatile world provides readers with alist of principles associated with each role of the modern agile manager andis required reading for individuals from small to medium-sized businesses,large corporations, nonprofit organizations, and government offices.
