Adaptive Leadership Applied

Traits and Practices

This white paper describes the foundational skills needed to become an adaptive leader and presents the strategic thinking skills to lead effectively in situations characterised by uncertainty and complexity.

The intent is to enable the reader to determine where they may need to grow to become an effective adaptive leader. Is the application a foundational one with the adoption of core principles of adaptive leadership or a more challenging one that requires an improved capacity to understand and diagnose problems, navigate complexity, and face new challenges with confidence?

Adaptive Leadership Applied recognises that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to developing adaptive leaders. We are all starting from different positions of capability.
