Think of Non Routine Leadership as a way to develop your most powerful leadership “muscle”—sensemaking. Even though you exercise sensemaking all of the time, it doesn’t mean you do it as well as you could. Most leaders don’t realize sensemaking is something they can strengthen. For the first time, Non Routine Leadership™ shows that it is not only possible, but highly valuable; since strong sensemaking improves all other areas of leadership performance.
