KDI Leads Sessions on Leadership at International Conference for Organizational Psychology
KDI hosted two thought-provoking sessions on leadership at the annual conference for the Society of Industrial-Organizational Psychologists in Atlanta April 8-10, 2010. The first took a critical look at the “Play to your strengths” fad. The second session applied the emerging evolutionary perspective on leadership to frame, analyze, and suggest solutions to the modern leadership crisis. Presentation slides and papers are available below from the sessions we hosted. Click on the session title to retrieve materials.

KDI leads session on “Developing Adaptable Leaders for an Age of Uncertainty”
This session considered three distinct perspectives for assessing how adaptable leaders are, and how they can become more adaptable. Topics include dealing with ambiguity, learning agility, and mastering paradox and opposing forces. Chaired by Rob Kaiser of Kaplan DeVries at the Society for Consulting Psychology midwinter conference, 2010.
Today’s hyper-competitive, fast-paced, and rapidly changing global economy puts a premium on adaptable organizations and flexible leaders. Even advertising campaigns celebrate the “agile enterprise” and channel the spirit of “constant self-reinvention.” But how can consulting psychologists help managers become more nimble, fleet-footed, and flexible leaders? This session features three distinct, but related, perspectives that explore the role of dealing with ambiguity, the mastery of opposing but complementary leadership approaches, and learning agility.
