Nowadays, the term VUCA, short for volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity, is often an excuse comprehensive to explain the difficulties working placed in a particular position or a course of action that goes astray. However, Johansen's leadership opportunities in terms of vision, understanding, clarity and agility provide a road map to success by reversing danger, like an aikido move in martial arts, absorbing the attachment and redirecting attachment energy in a positive direction (Johansen, 2007). Nathan Bennett, a professor at Georgia State University's Robinson College of Business, and James Lemoine, a doctoral student at the Georgia Institute of Technology, explain what VUCA means for everyday managers in their article Management: What VUCA Really Meaning to You. In turn, Craigie Zildjian, CEO of Cymbal Company, provides a vivid example of someone who absorbs the difficulties of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity, like a martial artist, and redirects its energy in a positive direction. The challenges of volatility explained by Bennett and Lemoine (2014), because unexpected, unstable and often persistent situations for an indefinite period constitute frightening challenges for any manager. They suggest that managers devote resources to preparation. Volatility, by definition, is about uncertainty and instability, so it's hard to be "prepared," but if you follow a set of core values, as CEO Craigie Zildjian does, instability market should not affect your formula for the future. The Cymbal Company continually focuses on things like quality improvement, innovation, customer collaboration, employee empowerment, and avoiding complacency (Zildjian, 2007). There is no “second...... middle of paper ......o. The best investment a manager can make is to understand what VUCA means for their organization and reverse that risk like an aikido movement redirecting the energy of the situation in a positive direction, as described by Johansen (2007) . Bennett and Lemoine offer a way to explain what VUCA means for everyday managers, but it is up to each manager to understand their own understanding and turn that vision into a business formula for the future, like Craigie Zildjian, CEO of Cymbal Company.
