The economy
today is very
volatile. Just
like the graph of
oil price to left,
the business
environment
can go up and
down rapidly
like a yoyo
9. 9
There is much uncertainty in
the business world as changes
come rapidly and new
business models compel
organizations to form and re-
form new alliances and
partnerships in order to
compete more effectively

There is more
ambiguity in the
business environment
today than ever
before, for example
what may appear to
be a loss may actually
turn out to be a gain
after all

As a result,
organizations
need to stay agile.
Leadership plays a
significant role in
lighting the
pathway for the
organization to
follow.
