Mobilizing People for Change: Introduction to Adaptive Leadership

This module introduces the concept of Adaptive Leadership in addressing complex and persistent challenges. Oftentimes, leaders are faced with recurring problems that can’t seem to be solved. This module provides the perspective that any problem or challenge can take on a technical or adaptive nature and must therefore require the appropriate response to be solved or addressed effectively. It aims to equip learners on basic adaptive leadership skills to identify adaptive challenges and apply adaptive response using an adaptive leadership toolkit. The content of this module is adapted from the leadership model by Robert Heifetz, Marty Linsky and Alexander Grashow.
