When
change requires you to challenge people’s familiar reality, it can be
difficult, dangerous work. Whatever the context – whether in the private or
the public sector – many will feel threatened as you push though major
changes. But as a leader, you need to find a way to make it work. Ron
Heifetz first defined this problem with his distinctive theory of “adaptive
leadership” in Leadership Without Easy Answers. In a second book, Leadership
on the Line, Heifetz and coauthor Marty Linsky highlighted the individual
and organizational dangers of leading through deep change in business,
politics, and community life. Now, Heifetz, Linsky, and coauthor Alexander
Grashow are taking the next step: The Practice of Adaptive Leadership is a
hands-on, practical guide containing stories, tools, diagrams, cases, and
worksheets to help you develop your skills as adaptive leader, able to take
people outside their comfort zones and assess and address the toughest
challenges. The authors have decades of experience helping people and
organizations to create cultures of adaptive leadership. In today’s rapidly
changing world, The Practice of Adaptive Leadership can be your handbook to
meeting the demands of leadership in a complex world. – Harvard Business
