What people resist is not change per se, but loss.

Exercising adaptive leadership is about giving meaning to your life beyond your own ambition.

If you find what you do each day seems to have no link to any higher purpose, you probably want to rethink what you're doing.

I think that notion of leadership is bankrupt.

The improvisational ability to lead adaptively relies on responding to the present situation rather than importing the past into the present and laying it on the current situation like an imperfect template.

Worry not that your child listens to you; worry most that they watch you.

Stay diagnostic even as you take action.
