Summary
Leaders must decide and take action when the course isn’t clear, but the stakes are high—sometimes life-threatening.
Uncertain crossroads force people to see things differently, to push past their assumptions and habitual ways of thinking, to rewrite their playbook. They ask leaders to see things through new perspectives and come up with unique responses to unique times.
In F.O.R.G.E.D.: Six Practices of Great Leaders in Volatile Times, author Douglas Scherer highlights the lessons of presence he has shared with his students for decades. The stories of leadership will encourage and support you in finding a flexible mindset to respond to critical situations.
From a board member of a major passenger airline bringing great Wi-Fi to its passengers, to volunteers stepping up to lead their local food pantry when its community’s needs rapidly expand, to a new employee creating a completely new competitive business model that saves their company.... If you are ready for the inspiration to get F.O.R.G.E.D. now, then this book belongs on your listening list.
"Douglas Scherer draws on his many years of research and organizational experience to set out practices that will help leaders develop the attitudes, values, and approaches that will serve them well as they execute their roles. These are the practices that are learned through experience in challenging times (what Douglas calls 'The Forge'), from working creatively and with an open mind to communicating and building communities around the work to bringing compassion and intuition into the leadership style. Douglas presents examples from business, the Military, and the not-for-profit world to help readers see the practices in action. Leaders (current and aspiring) will find good guidance on preparing themselves to assume key roles in any form of entity." (Deirdre Silberstein, President, Silberstein & Associates LLC)

Leading with intuition and creativity
Douglas Scherer shares compelling stories with a clear and pleasant to hear voice, so the audiobook is a great listen. He includes a pdf with the visuals, which is nice to clarify some concepts. So that about the container.
Now on to the content. He provides a much needed framework to lead in VUCA environments (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity), as you can expect when he started writing it in the middle of a global pandemic. What I like the most is how he includes compassion, intuition, curiosity and community as an essential part of the framework. Those are not common vocabulary in the traditional leadership books.
You will enjoy this book if you are open to new forms of leadership for challenging times, and like a clear framework of practice to get started.
