Heifetz's Adaptive Leadership Model

Heifetz's Adaptive Leadership Model is a framework for leading in complex and changing environments. It emphasizes that leaders must help their teams adapt to challenges rather than just providing solutions. This involves recognizing the difference between technical problems (which can be solved with expertise) and adaptive challenges (which require new learning and cultural shifts). Leaders should engage others in the problem-solving process, fostering collaboration and resilience. By doing so, they empower individuals and organizations to navigate uncertainty and thrive amidst change, making leadership a shared responsibility rather than solely resting on one person's shoulders.
