A Comprehensive Study on the Resilience of Organizational Leadership in the VUCA Era

Rui Zhang

Abstract


In the VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) era, organizations face high unpredictability and challenges, rendering traditional management and leadership theories insufficient to address this eras complexity and rapid changes. To survive and maintain competitiveness in such a turbulent environment, organizational leaders must exhibit a high degree of resilience. Resilient leadership refers to the ability of leaders to quickly recover and continuously drive the organization forward when faced with pressure, adversity, and change. This paper
explores the critical role of resilient leadership in addressing VUCA environments, analyzing how leaders can maintain stability and flexibility
amidst uncertainty and enhance organizational adaptability and competitiveness through game theory and adversity coping strategies.
