  1. Complex Adaptive Leadership Sean Belluscio HTM 491 Dr. Sipe

  2. Origins • “A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.” – Lao Tzu • Term appeared in medical leadership articles (2000-2010) • Nicholas Obolensky – Chaos Leadership and Polyarchy – countering leadership stress? (2010)

  3. The Article of Mr. Obolensky • Conducted research with the Centre for Leadership Studies – University of Exeter (United Kingdom) • Published article in 2010 • Expanded on idea of Complex Adaptive Leadership • Made the connection between chaos theory and leadership

  4. What is Complex Adaptive Leadership? • Product of polyarchy (leadership done BY the many) - Perceived synthesis of oligarchy and anarchy (evolutionary) • Delegating more among the many (widened involvement) • Stands against traditional wisdom (lots of effort = lots of results)

  5. Credibility • Working HARD vs. working SMART • Flexible to undeniable, rapid changes • Reduces “Unnecessary Leadership Stress” - Stress Inducers: Fear of letting go, working too hard, playing a charade
