This chapter is excerpted from 'Embracing Ambiguity'. This book fills a tremendous need in today's chaotic marketplace by providing a timely, impactful, and relevant self-directed training program designed to enhance the essential skills employees need to embrace the ambiguity of a postpandemic world. In today's dynamic, hyper-competitive, and ever-changing global economy organizations need to make investing in the personal growth and professional development of its employees a strategic imperative. Doing so requires organizations to think differently about training its workforce, adapt new strategies of employee engagement, and create a more agile approach to human capital management. Since the new reality is that life in a postpandemic world will look different than it did prior to the global health care crisis employees should be encouraged to engage in a self-directed training program to enhance their future potential. Such a program provides employees with the opportunity to learn at their own pace, in a safe environment, and at a convenient time of day. By shifting the locus of control over to the employee, individuals maintain the self-determination required to identify, develop, and enhance the essential skills necessary to embrace the ambiguity in a postpandemic world. By engaging in self-directed learning employees will increase their self-awareness, further their sense of the world around them, and reflect on the intersection of the two. Required reading for individuals from small-to-medium sized businesses, large corporations, nonprofit organizations, and government offices, Embracing Ambiguity offers employers and employees alike a valuable resource to use as they chart a course forward in a postpandemic marketplace.
