ESSENTIAL TOOLS FOR ADAPTIVE LEADERSHIP

 
When Marshall Goldsmith wrote, What Got You Here Won’t Get You There, he was telling leaders that 20th century skills and styles of leadership, which rely heavily on technical knowledge and skills, are insufficient for 21st century workplaces. What is required of leaders is strong adaptive skills. Adaptive skills are the skills leaders need when the problems they are facing are complex and the solutions to those problems are not clear or easily arrived at and the leader must engage the people with the problems in order to solve the problems. Using research by Daniel Goleman and The Hay Group, participants will learn the six leadership styles effective leaders use and assess their own strengths and areas for development in terms of adaptive skills. They will then learn a range of adaptive tools and be given an opportunity to practice the tools on a leadership case study that requires the leader to use adaptive skills and later apply those same tools to a real world leadership challenge they face.
