WHY adaptive leadership?

Adaptive leadership theory was founded by leadership experts, Harvard professors and authors Marty Linsky and Ronald Heifetz.Leaders who apply adaptive leadership theory go beyond addressing challenges and finding ways to solve them. They also anticipate challenges and are able to identify their root causes throught diagnosis and mapping.When change requires you to challenge people’s known reality of people, it can be hard, dangerous work. Regardless of the context, many will feel threatened when big changes are introduced- But as a leader you have to find a way to make it work.Adaptive leadership can be applied to a wide range of careers and sectors.

About Masterclass

Testimonial​​

Adaptive leadership has provided me with a deep understanding of the concepts of leadership and authority. I particularly appreciated the principle that leadership involves recognizing and acting within gaps in the name of a greater purpose. I learned to distinguish between formal and informal authority and how leadership differs from these concepts.

One of the most important lessons was that leadership often means disappointing people’s expectations to the extent we can tolerate and managing their fear of loss. I also understood the importance of crisis as an opportunity for choice and change.

The realization that leadership is more focused on diagnosing situations rather than fixing them was extremely valuable. The process of observing, interpreting, and testing allows for better understanding and adaptation to situations.

Throughout the workshop, we discussed preserving experience and accumulated knowledge, innovations, and learning from the process. This was particularly useful for understanding the balance between ambition and aspiration.

All these lessons have deeply influenced my view on leadership, and I believe they will significantly help me in the future.
