⟡ Literature serves as a pool of values
⟡ From each literary work, readers can
learn various lessons that may help them
in redirecting their lives
⟡ Through the years, these positive
values have remained unchanged in this
changing world
Unchanging Values in the VUCA
World
⟡ Values are passed from culture to
culture, from generation to generation
⟡ However, in these modern times, it is
claimed by scientists that change in
society has been happening at a pace
they have never seen before
⟡ Everything can change in a snap,
referring to it as the VUCA world
⟡ First used in 1987, VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity) is an
acronym based on the leadership theories of Warren Bennis and Burt Nanus.
⟡ In a VUCA world, the most important thing is to anticipate the future and
strengthen cooperation to come up with better solutions to problems and
challenges
The work of Dr. Warner Burke and his research colleagues at Columbia University
provides us with scientific data that learning agility (ability to be flexible and be
open to change and thrive on new experiences) is made up of nine dimensions or
behavior patterns:
1. Flexibility - willingness to try new things
2. Speed - rapidly grasping new ideas
3. Experimenting - testing out new ideas
4. Performance Risk-Taking - taking on challenges
