Acumen Academy’s free, four week course, Adaptive Leadership: Mobilizing for change and disrupting the status quo, empowers you to lead change, particularly during times of uncertainty or when there are no easy answers.
In this course you’ll learn how to:
- Find the root cause of a stubborn and recurring challenge in your organization, team or community
- Partner with people in positions of authority or power
- Recognize your role in the challenge and use your own power to get to a solution
- Lead adaptively amidst times of mistrust, resistance, conflict and distress
Why we love it:
- The Adaptive Leadership approach was developed at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and equips people with the skills needed to lead change in times of uncertainty in an increasingly complex world.
- This course was created with support from Adaptive Change Advisors (ACA) whose mission is to democratize leadership – putting leadership tools that drive change into the hands of anyone who drives outcomes.
- This self-paced course includes readings, videos, exercises and activities that empower you to think differently and lead change.
