There is a blizzard of uncertainty — technological, geopolitical, demographic, climate-related, and more — impacting us at work today, and it is only accelerating. Its negative consequences abound. Uncertainty knocks an estimated half a percentage point off countries’ Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In finance, uncertainty raises the cost of capital, gumming up the monetary pipes. Technological advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, equal parts amazing and frightening, make us question the future of work. We already know what happens with mounting uncertainty: our anxiety rises, our performance suffers, and our life isn’t nearly as meaningful as it could be. We need a toolkit for navigating the chaos. Drawing on two decades of research and practice by organizational scientists Geoffrey Tumlin and Cindi Baldi to boost performance in unpredictable environments, The Uncertainty Playbook: 14 Strategies for Work Success in a Chaotic World equips readers with essential strategies to grow — and even flourish — in unstable times.
