Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, the authors will present an innovative leadership model that builds upon a framework for repackaging a proven Swiss Army Knife of tools to approach digitized workplaces affected by COVID-19 and the VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) ecosystem our world has been thrust toward. Today our organizations are challenged to improve creativity, originality, initiative, innovation, critical thinking, and complex problem-solving. We will trigger new insights into how to foster these competencies and flourish in a world undergoing dramatic transformations. Leaders in the post COVID-19, VUCA world require a different mindset than those of the Third Industrial Revolution, which is achievable by applying our proposed framework of techniques in the Internal Leadership model. The tools of the External Leadership model, on the other hand, could support leaders in building rapport and gaining authenticity and credibility within the Fourth Industrial Revolution, making them able to inspire and empower their communities. We bring it together within the proposed Internal–External Leadership Model.
