KOMB (VUCA) World and New Leadership Skills
Abstract
The fast changing, complex, volatile, ambiguous and uncertain environment surrounding us, is called VUCA in the USA. VUCA is an abbreviation consist-ing of the initials of the words volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambigui-ty. In this study, VUCA is adapted to the Turkish language as KOMB (karmaşıklık, oynaklık, muğlaklık, belirsizlik). The fact that the VUCA world has very different features from the relatively stable business world of the past has revealed the necessity of developing new skills to the managers who have to deal with this new situation. In this theoretical study, firstly, the compo-nents and features of this new business world, which is called as VUCA, are discussed. Next are explained the new leadership skills developed by Bob Johansen that must be gained by today's senior executives and leaders in or-der to be successful in the VUCA World.
