Adaptive Leadership

These two days provide an opportunity to work more deeply with the core Adaptive Leadership model used by Social Leadership Australia and, in particular, case-in-point methodology. Case-in-point methodology refers to framing the group we are working with (including the facilitators) as a microcosm of the broader system or organisation in which we are trying to make change. Scrutinising both what the group does and what the facilitators do, we discover that often what we need to learn about leadership is 'in the room'.

Case-in-point methodology is risky. It requires us to be willing to work with what we do as facilitators of change—what we do well, but also where we make mistakes. Often the change agent will be required to create disequilibrium to disrupt the system in order for it to change and make progress.

This workshop will include a mixture of theory and practice and offer learning in 'real time' about Adaptive Leadership; understanding the constraints and opportunities in the role of authority; diagnosing 'work avoidance'; working with different factions; practising collaboration across difference; and understanding the loss that is required to make progress. Expect the experiential, the improvisational and the experimental.
