In this second episode Jan and Andrew from Moonstone Associates describe the key building blocks for leading with safe uncertainty:

•  Our need to feel safe (in this context we mean psychologically safe). How psychological safety allows us the freedom to take risks and make ourselves potentially vulnerable, trusting that we will have respect and support from those around us. Our preference to feel certain - how this has developed, how it impacts on us differently according to our personalities/preferences and how it can potentially be limiting our potential for growth.
• The opportunity to reframe our relationship with uncertainty. If we can shift our belief that certainty equates to safety, it gives us the opportunity to sit with the (creative) tension that uncertainty can bring). This does not in any way negate the discomfort and/or distress that the current uncertainty brings about our future - it allows us to step back and search for what is working, rather than focusing on what isn't.
• Learning to leverage the tension that uncertainty brings to release inherent creativity and innovation. Strengthening the muscle of antifragility* to build agility and flexibility of response - using uncertainty as a catalyst for growth and development.

In the next episode Jan and Andrew discuss how conscious leadership can form the basis for a culture of safe uncertainty.

* the term antifragility was originally coined by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
