In an era of rapid change and increasing complexity, leaders must navigate uncertainty with creativity, resilience, and compassion. Adaptive leadership offers a framework for engaging constructively with resistance, embracing complexity, and stewarding transformation across teams, organisations, and systems.
This full-day masterclass explores the practice of adaptive leadership — creating a space to lean into change, encourage new possibilities, and move toward cultures of continuous learning. Through hands-on exercises, small-group exploration, and insightful dialogue, you’ll gain practical tools to lead with clarity, courage, and care.
Developed at Harvard by Ronald Heifetz, Adaptive Leadership helps us move beyond quick fixes to the deeper, often uncomfortable, work of reimagining how we live and lead. This workshop is for those ready to stretch their leadership practice.
