Adaptive Leadership • Is a set of strategies and practices that can help organizations and the people in them break through gridlocks, accomplish deep change and develop the ability to thrive in complex, competitive, and challenging environments. (Ron Heifetz) • Active a leader mindset • Identify the expendable from the essential to address the challenges
Indicators of Adaptive Challenges • When there is a CRISIS; it’s been adaptive in the past but needs to be readdressed properly. It comes back up because it needs adjustments. • i.e. The Future, the economy right now, and the The Great Depression • When there is PRESISTENT CONFLICT; address the conflict and find its underlying issue to produce a solution • When and organization or person starts TEACHING new things to people.
The Break Down • Adaptive leaders can differentiate whether they are dealing with an adaptive challenge or one that is mechanical/technical • Adaptive Challenges • You go outside your normal thinking and normal organization structure to create a solution to a problem or situation • “The people are also apart of the problem and as a leader you address that and encourage changes” Ronald A Heifetz
