We discussed a new acronym that has been introduced to go beyond VUCA and incorporate the chaos that has emerged in recent years between the pandemic, climate change, civil unrest and more – BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Non-linear, Incomprehensible).

• One resource that was mentioned is Kim Scott’s book, Just Work. There’s a short TED Talk she put out late in 2021 addressing biases in the workplace; you can watch it here.
• Another resource that was mentioned is a No Ego Podcast episode where Cy Wakeman and Mike Robbins discuss new competencies of leaders that align with what was presented around how people need to lead in a BANI world; you can listen to it here.
