Tricky times: Navigating the Messy Middle of Change

We are in a period of transition. What do we need to navigate uncertain times, as people, teams, businesses? This corporate anthropologist offers a practical and original take on leadership and change

In this groundbreaking work, leading corporate anthropologist Jitske Kramer masterfully deciphers the complexities of transition and transformation. Drawing from global cultural insights, she illuminates why societies worldwide are experiencing unprecedented turbulence as established truths dissolve and traditional power structures shift. In doing so, she offers invaluable wisdom and practical tools for societies, businesses and individuals navigating the “messy middle” where we've left the familiar behind but haven't yet reached what's next. Shortlisted for the 2025 Management Book of the Year, Tricky Times is an essential guide for understanding the patterns, challenges, opportunities and leadership needed during these liminal periods.
