Leading Through VUCA — When the World Won't Sit Still

In Episode 002 of the The Leadership Contrarian, Michael Redman, CEO of Half a Bubble Out (HaBO), explores why leadership feels harder right now—and why that's not your imagination.

We're living in a VUCA world:
Volatility. Uncertainty. Complexity. Ambiguity.

Drawing from a formative experience in 1980 and more than 20 years of working with leaders, Michael unpacks:

• What VUCA really means (and why it's personal)

• Why yesterday's leadership tools no longer work

• How resilient leaders stay grounded when everything feels unstable

• Why internal capacity—not external control—is the key to leading well in chaos

This episode isn't about reacting faster or doing more.
It's about becoming a steadier, more human, and more effective leader—without adding more to your plate.

If you're navigating constant change, pressure, and uncertainty, this message will meet you right where you are.
