Rethinking Leadership (Part 1): Principles of Adaptive Leadership

from PostEverything · host Brad Edwards and John Houmes

If Leadership is "the art of disappointing people at a rate they can handle" (John Ortberg), then how do we think about leadership when everyone's starting point is disappointment? Because "life in a liminal age" is one of unpredictability, disappointment will be far more normative right when we feel far less able to handle it.  How then, do we rethink leadership in a Liminal Age? While there is no quick fix or silver bullet, there absolutely is a framework to help us navigate challenges and opportunities with clarity and wisdom. Whether you're trying to lead a team, organization, your family, or just yourself, these principles of "Adaptive Leadership" are as timely as it is timeless.  Was this episode helpful or encouraging in some way?
