58: Dealing with Ambiguity

The world is changing faster and faster. What seemed clear
yesterday may not be clear today and who knows what tomorrow will
bring? Dealing with ambiguity is not just a soft skill but a
necessity in today’s workplace. We will discuss dealing with
ambiguity and even give some hints for how to handle it.


Cohosts Dr. Tobin Porterfield and Bob Graham discuss the
following topics:


Life isn’t predictable and it can get boring

How clock speed affects our ability to succeed

Dealing with not knowing

Decisions have consequences and making bad decisions can be
costly. 






A few hints for how we can ensure that we can deal with
ambiguity.



Accept that ambiguity is real. Easy choices don’t always
exist. Keep a compass. Know what you are trying to accomplish
and keep true to it.Call in the reinforcements. Find people and
other sources of information and support that are solid no matter
what else is happening.Heed the signs. When things appear to be
faltering, recognize it and react.
