How Does AIR2.0 Leading in a VUCA World Differ from AIR Program for Managers?

AIR for Managers focuses on Awareness, Intervention, and Resilience within the context of stresses and pressures that are present in the workforce. AIR 2.0 expands the original AIR program to ensure its effectiveness in the “new normal” of today’s work environment. AIR 2.0 zeroes in on the levels of anxiety created in a VUCA environment and considers a heightened emphasis on the human factor when managing virtual teams and essential workers. New tools have been created for AIR 2.0 giving managers practice using the Anxiety Scale tool to understand how anxiety is impacting team members.

The Importance of VUCA Leadership Training in Today’s Workplace

The world of business is changing faster than ever before, and it’s imperative that leaders and managers have all the necessary skills to meet the challenges of the VUCA world. VUCA is an acronym that stands for “volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity,” all of which are key characteristics of today’s business landscape. This is why VUCA leadership development programs such as ours are so important for preparing managers to be the most effective leaders they can be.

One of the primary advantages of VUCA leadership training is how it provides managers with awareness and strategies for recognizing and managing emotional issues in the workplace. Knowing how anxiety impacts behavior in uncertain situations, recognizing the signs of trauma and effectively managing delicate situations are critical competencies for those in a leadership position, In addition, our VUCA course gives managers the tools they need to navigate changes within their teams, mitigate their risks, and effectively prioritize remote work.

Perhaps most importantly, VUCA leadership training stresses the importance of creating resilience and collaboration within teams. For example, the Manager Audit Tool helps leaders ensure positive energy reserves to manage the most challenging situations. With effective communication strategies and the application of resilience principles, you can help foster trust and build greater collaboration.
