Adaptive Paradox Leadership™
DOWNLOAD A FREE SAMPLE
Adaptive Paradox Leadership™ helps leaders navigate the tensions that do not have simple solutions: stability vs. change, short-term vs. long-term, autonomy vs. control. Instead of treating these paradoxes as problems to solve, participants learn how to embrace them as ongoing realities of leadership.
This one-day course introduces the Adaptive Paradox Leadership™ Model (also known as the Frame-Hold-Sense-Act-Rebalance Cycle™), which equips leaders with tools to reflect, act, and adapt in complex environments. Participants will explore the Paradox Mindset, Tensional Leadership, Theory U™, and Act/Think frameworks, and discover how to integrate them into their leadership practice.
