This book is filled with the deeper insights of leadership, thriving through change, tools and strategies as well as basic humanity and compassion. Deep, well-organized and accessible although dense and rich, Adaptive Leadership is the deep nutrition that will move both you and your organization forward. This is not “pop leadership” like Brendon Burchard, Richard Sheridan or even John Maxwell - it’s a book that will require time, dedication and reflection to digest. So, if you are looking for the cheap seats and pre-fab BS then stay far away. If you are ready to embrace experimentation, ambiguity, deep values and personal and organizational resistance and challenges, then get on board. Easily one of the greatest leadership books ever written. A true ethos and a way of being and maps to get there are what you’ll find here.

I am managing an organisational reframing process. Had I read this book before, I would not have made the mistakes I made. However, having studied this book, gave me some comfort, as it helped me to realise why I made the mistakes I made and how to go about crafting a change process. From personality issues to be mindful of, to practical tools to master to be an adaptive leader, this is the best book I have ever read thus far. It is an empowering reading! I strongly recommend it for those who aspire a leadership position mostly for those who are planning to run a change both in personal and professional life. By the way, I bought the other book of the same authors Leadership on the line.

A must read for anyone trying to effect change in their organization and/or themselves
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2017Verified Purchase
This book has nearly every tool you need to help create lasting change in your organization, no matter the level of official leadership position you hold. It is both theoretical and practical, and it is born out of the many experiences the authors have had with their clients. Just about everything in this book has been helpful or affirming to me in my areas of leadership. It is a must read for anyone trying to effect change in their organization and themselves.

By drawing the distinction between an adaptive versus a technical challenge the authors help me step back and be more conscious of my thoughts and attitudes. Greatly enjoyed the book. One observation, at times the authors seemed a bit pessimistic in their assessments of leadership challenges and options, but regained a noble vision for Leadership overall

This is an excellent book. It confirms a basic thesis I have been carrying around with me; the world has massively changed. No longer can we trust technical solutions to fix technical challenges. Most everything we do, going forward, requires adaptive leadership. This is the book leaders of every industry and field will turn to for a couple of decades as they continue to lead others well.

Experiment with Leadership by reading Adaptive Leadership. It's a necessary read if you are serious about your practising of leadership and your role as a leader.
It's a thorough overview of what you do to develop your leadership - approaching all aspects of your leadership with a reflective and experimental process.
I have a hard copy and use this soft copy for quick references.

This book is a must lead for anyone involved with leadership. The insights in it especially about the difference between adjustment challenges and technical problems are just vital for any leader. I would thoroughly recommend this book and it should be widely read
