Setting a Project Agenda
Tackle Adaptive Challenges
Adaptive leaders are the ones in demand. There are many leadership themes: People-Centered, Purpose-centered, Servant, Authentic, and more. They are all right but are they all equally helpful when waves of change are accelerating in speed and growing in amplitude?
Increase your ability to bring experts from many disciplines with those who will operate the organization in future states and quickly agree on a course of action to address operational challenges as one team, a coalition for seamless transformation.
