Abstract

As our world becomes increasingly volatile, unpredictable and overwhelming, imagine the possibilities if we can develop the capabilities to quickly and easily adapt to changing business conditions and create change to outpace competitors and increase our personal value proposition and potential. We fearlessly welcome challenges with confidence and inspire (and empower) our teams to do the same—knowing that we will learn from whatever future challenges emerge.

This Adaptive Leadership and Value Innovation Accelerator session explores the leadership principles, practices and skills necessary to create a culture of adaptability, create deep personal awareness and accountability and develop personal links with every employee and business partner; master learning agility to fundamentally reshape ourselves and our organizations faster than the speed of change.

We'll share a practical adaptive leadership framework and practice map that begins with deepening awareness and rapidly iterates to discovery and crafting thought experiments to accelerate learning thru creating, reflecting, generating new knowledge and practicing a new, adaptive way of leading.

Takeaways will include the framework and practice maps as well as deepened awareness of how to develop skills leading to increased:

  • Capacity to thrive in extreme uncertainty
  • Being comfortable in disequilibirum
  • Master Learning Agility: know what to leverage (from past learnings) and what to let go of (rapidly unlearn)
  • Improvise as you go with an experimental mindset
  • Do Less and create more value: Value Innovation AND giving the work back (empowering, accountability)
  • Cultivate Cognitive Diversity
  • Master Resilience AND Patience
  • Quickly shed debilitating delusions (i.e. broken system, fixed mindsets, quest for perfection...)
  • Deepen self awareness
  • Regulate emergent conflict
