Course description
The idea that one bold individual generates outcomes in the workplace by dominating their way through is outdated. It is much easier to see a leader as a general in the field of battle, an astronaut, a movie star, or an athlete. Many people believe that good leaders are heroic. They think only one person can make a difference, and that person is the leader. However, leadership is now considered a collective effort of all the members. Leaders must develop a culture that fosters open discussion, teamwork, and empowerment. They must ensure a safe and open environment for everyone so that each individual can bring their unique input and talents to the workplace, especially those with less conventional backgrounds.
How does adaptive leadership differ from traditional leadership?
Adaptive leadership is the form of leadership that goes beyond simply tackling challenges as they come. It also involves anticipating challenges and identifying their root causes. Leaders must develop solutions to improve the situation, allowing them to pivot if the situation proves to be more complicated than originally thought. This kind of leadership is flexible, enabling it to respond to changes in the environment and the team’s needs. Adaptive leadership is a different kind of leadership from what we learned in school. Unlike traditional leaders, adaptive leaders open space to discuss and explore new ideas.
