The Practice of Adaptive Leadership

Ronald A. Heifetz, Alexander Grashow, Marty Linsky · Harvard Business Press · 2009

A practical handbook on adaptive leadership for people leading change in organisations and communities. It builds on Heifetz's Leadership Without Easy Answers and Leadership on the Line. Using stories, diagrams, cases and worksheets, it helps readers tell technical problems from adaptive challenges, diagnose the system and themselves, and act when change meets resistance. Readers use the exercises alone or with a team to plan interventions and build their own leadership practice.
