Introduction to Adaptive Leadership Coaching
Presented by Mari Haraldsson, ACC
Learning & Development Strands: Business Development
Program Description
Adaptive Leadership is a language, framework and set of tools and practices for leading change during times of transition, uncertainty and possibility. Developed over 40 years at Harvard Kennedy School, Adaptive Leadership transcends conventional notions of leadership, inviting us to embrace the discomfort of the unknown. At its core, Adaptive Leadership is a call to action — to challenge the status quo, disrupt conventional thinking and inspire courageous and inclusive action. Adaptive Leadership Coaching builds on this to invite us into a deeper, unfolding inquiry: What is leadership really for and why are we called to coach those who lead? The Adaptive Leadership framework provides a sharp yet compassionate lens for helping clients make sense of the challenges they face. But the coaching practice takes us even further into a transformational exploration of the client as a whole, evolving person. In this webinar, leadership coaches will have access to a quick taster of a few of the foundational concepts of Adaptive Leadership applied to the coaching practice.
