Session 3: Practicing Adaptive Leadership

Hi, Welcome to another session on practicing adaptive leadership. In the previous session, we covered
adaptive leadership in depth and took you through the six principles of adaptive leadership. Using
different scenarios, we painted a picture of how different individuals use these principles in exercising
adaptive leadership.
In this session, we take a look at practicing adaptive leadership. Practicing adaptive leadership is difficult
on one hand and highly meaningful on the other hence not something that one should enter into casually.
In this session, we will take you through three tips or guidelines you should consider before starting
practicing adaptive leadership. The three tips we will cover in this session are:
1. Don’t do it alone
2. Resist the leap to action; and
3. Discover the joy of making hard choices
We will then dig further to give you scenarios where individuals who exercise adaptive leadership
incorporate in their leadership journey.
