Chapter Chapter 1 in Post-Heroic Leadership, 2022, pp 3-8 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has introduced completely new dimensions into an already uncertain world and has revealed important shortcomings in current forms of leadership. We are currently living in the time of paradoxes; caught between the local and the global, the common and the individual. These paradoxes cause increased volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, and signal the need for a structural change in how we approach leadership. I argue that it is the post-heroic leaders who will be able to tackle the wicked problems of the future that are here to stay long after the pandemic is forgotten.
