Leading Through Adaptive Challenges

In this course, you will learn the "what" "why" and "how" of meeting adaptive challenges. Learn proactive measures that you can take to accelerate change when the next wave arrives. Following the course, you, your team and fellow leaders will be better prepared to apply Adaptive Leadership and Capability methods to your challenges, conditions and context. By approaching challenges from an idealized future state and working backwards to the means to operate and adapt in that future state, you will experience and affect a leadership transformation from individual leaders working alone and together to a organizational leadership capability that acts as one. You will have more than 8 hours of direct access to the faculty, plus the opportunity to engage members of the cohort and learn from them.&nbsp;
