Chaos isn’t the enemy. It’s the beginning.

In early Greek cosmology, Chaos wasn’t disorder – it was the fertile void. The raw potential from which Cosmos – order, beauty, and structure – emerged.

We often treat chaos in organisations like something to fear. A sign that things are broken. But in moments of real change, chaos is inevitable – and essential.

It’s what happens when old structures fall apart before the new ones are fully formed. When clarity is still emerging. When people are searching for meaning, direction, and stability.

The question isn’t 'how do we avoid chaos?'

It’s 'how do we hold space for it – without rushing to fix or control it?'

Because when leaders can meet chaos with curiosity…

When teams can sit with 'not-knowing' for long enough…

Something new can emerge.

Not the old system, slightly rearranged.

But something genuinely different.

More human. More resilient. More real.

What’s your relationship with chaos in times of change? Do you fight it, fear it – or learn from it?
