“In transition: life is a journey

Living in a VUCA world, we often find ourselves prisoners of things, people and situations. For context, VUCA is an acronym first used in 1987, to describe or reflect the volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity of general conditions and situations. The U.S. Army War College began using this term to refer to how the world was perceived after the end of the Cold War. More frequent use of this acronym began in 2002 and subsequently gained traction in emerging ideas of strategic leadership, which is how I personally encountered this term, during my master’s program in Leadership for International Relations.
