Harriette Thurber Rasmussen and Mohammed Raei on Adaptive Leadership in a Global Economy

Key Points

  • It’s about letting go and letting come. You can’t lead adaptively if you have all the answers. Get in touch with who you are and allow the mess to happen.

  • Adaptive leadership requires learning all the time. It requires and celebrates change.

Leadership, we believe, is a decision to act, with or without authority, to listen, and to engage others in a multitude of ways.
