Adaptive Leadership with Pat Reed

How can we solve new and emerging problems in today’s rapidly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world?

Our Adaptive leadership program with Pat Reed is a strategic program designed for leaders at all levels to drive positive change. The adaptive leadership approach was developed by Ronald Heifetz and Marty Linsky at Harvard University as a response to the inadequacies of current leadership. It recognises the need for adaptive leaders to mobilise teams to tackle adaptive challenges.

This MasterClass with agile thought leader, Pat Reed is designed to help resolve the most pressing and perplexing challenges leaders face. It will help you to break through obstacles, continuously learn, adapt and develop new capabilities to thrive in complex, competitive, and challenging environments where there are no easy answers. You will engage in a learn-by-doing methodology and explore scenarios where you can apply techniques to envision and design the future while experiencing new ways of thinking and working in teams.  This experiential program is designed to help leaders to create adaptive learning organisations of the future.
