Assessing and Developing Adaptable Leaders
Kaiser, R.B. (2010, February). Assessing and Developing Adaptable Leaders for an Age of Uncertainty. Session presented at the APA Division 13 (Society for Consulting Psychology) midwinter conference, Scottsdale, AZ.
This session considers three distinct perspectives for assessing how adaptable leaders are, and how leaders 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.
