Challenges requiring adaptive leadership commonly include conflict in the workplace,
the need for new work behaviors, and a change in mindset.<\/div><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Difficulty adapting to challenges in the workplace is not new, and as leaders we need to ensure that we influence our teams to continue to support\u00a0our\u00a0company values, strategies, and the processes\u00a0required\u00a0to achieve operational excellence\u00a0as we deal with changes across the globe.\u00a0These changes may be major and impact not only new roles and relationships, but also require new behaviors and approaches for how we work.

Ronald Heifetz (<\/em>founder of the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard Kennedy School) and
and Donald Laurie (corporate adviser), share<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>what they view as the\u00a0differences between “Technical or Routine Leadership” (Style A)\u00a0compared to “Adaptive Leadership” (Style B<\/a>) for the following leadership responsibilities:

DIRECTION
Style A – Defines problems and provides solutions
Style B \u2013Identifies the adaptive challenge and frames key questions and issues

PROTECTION
Style A \u2013 Shields the organization from external threats
Style B \u2013 Lets the organization feel external pressures within a range it can stand

ORIENTATION
Style A \u2013 Clarifies roles and responsibilities
Style B \u2013 Challenges current roles and resists pressure to quickly define new roles

MANAGING CONFLICT
Style A – Restores order
Style B \u2013 Exposes conflict or lets it emerge

SHAPING NORMS
Style A \u2013 Maintains norms
Style B \u2013 Challenges unproductive norms

Does one style sound more like you than the other? Perhaps you\u2019re a blend? Being a leader is not easy and it\u2019s up to us share when and\u00a0how our work culture values must change, and what\u2019s required of us (and others) to adapt to those changes.

We need to be aware of both the existing challenges that are being faced (as well as the potential challenges), understand when stress exists, when change is being resisted, and encourage open communication. \u00a0

Getting people to do adaptive work is the mark of leadership in a competitive world.
