Leading Adaptively in a Complex World

Catalog description

(F, Sp) Leading Adaptively in a Complex World is rooted in the concept that leadership is an action one takes to effect change. Based on this perspective, leadership is exercised to address challenging situations (described as adaptive challenges) occurring in complex social environments. Thus, individuals who practice leadership need to be adaptive in the actions they take, which is accomplished by effectively diagnosing the social dynamics occurring within each unique adaptive challenge before strategically intervening based on that understanding. This face-to-face, web-enhanced, discussion-based seminar emphasizes the methods and principles for engaging in this process.
