“While Scott cursed his bad luck, Amundsen planned for it.”
Adaptive leadership requires us to take regular timeouts to analyse our environment and the effectiveness of our response to it. When we spot a need to change or a problem we don’t know how to solve, we need to be humble enough to recognise we don’t have the answers. Empowering others to help us solve it and encouraging a culture of experimentation to figure out what works. Once we do figure out what will work, we often face the challenge of getting people to let go of ways of working they are loyal to. What follows is a closer examination of each of core skillsets of adaptive leaderships, along with the traps we need to watch out for.
