Adaptive Leadership

Ron Heifetz's "Adaptive Leadership" explores the challenges of leading in complex and uncertain environments.

The book emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between technical and adaptive challenges, arguing that technical problems can be solved with existing knowledge and expertise, while adaptive challenges require a deeper understanding of values, beliefs, and power dynamics.

Heifetz introduces the concept of 'holding environments,' where individuals can safely confront difficult issues and develop new ways of thinking and acting.

The book provides a framework for leaders to navigate change, build resilience, and foster collective learning.

It's a valuable resource for anyone seeking to lead effectively in dynamic contexts.
