- 13. Adaptive Leadership “…change that truly transforms an organization, be it a multibillion-dollar company or a ten-person sales team, demands that people give up things they hold dear: daily habits, loyalties, ways of thinking. In return for these sacrifices, they may be offered nothing more than the possibility of a better future.” -Heifetz & Linsky, HBR 2002
- 14. Adaptation
- 15. Technical vs Adaptive Changes Technical Adaptive Clearly Defined Problem Not clearly defined problem. Requires learning Clear and known solution. Have all information required, goal is to optimize execution. Solution unknown-requires learning, experimentation and gathering more information Evokes a rational and logical response. Evokes an emotional response-people may avoid or struggle to deal with this Uses existing processes, practices, behaviors Challenges existing processes, practices and behaviors Led with authority Requires engaging stakeholders and bringing them along

- 32. Each one of these thwarting tactics…grows out of people’s aversion to the organizational disequilibrium created by your initiative…people strive to restore order, maintain what is familiar to them, and protect themselves from the pains of adaptive change. -A Survival Guide for Leaders, HBR 2002
- 33. According to a McKinsey survey of 2,000 executives, programs that encourage and facilitate employees to take an active role in the transformation have a success rate five times higher than those led as top-down initiatives
