What kind of leader will help us to

survive? Because when…

… THE METEORITE FALLS…

…in the gulf of Mexico…

You don’t survive by becoming…

…a more efficient dinosaur!

SO, HOW TO SURVIVE?

So, what kind of leader will help us to

adapt?

be able to do?

2. Stand alone against the crowd

3. Picture the future 4. Make street smart

decisions.

BUT: ADAPTIVE LEADERS

REPRESENT A SPECIAL CLASS WITHIN THE LARGER GROUP OF

LEADERS.

THERE ARE…

5 baskets

INTO WHICH WE CAN GROUP ADAPTIVE

LEADERSHIP SKILLS.

#1 REFLECTIVE

Can take a step back from the

urgency of the moment...

IMPORTANT & URGENT

IMPORTANT BUT

NOT URGENT

UNIMPORTANT BUT URGENT

UNIMPORTANT & NOT URGENT

It’s the “Important, but not Urgent” that’s

strategically deadly. The slow poison that

kills you in the long run.

Understand that efficiency

can be…

…the enemy of

adaptation.

#2 RESOURCEFUL

#3 EXPERIMENTS

#4 3-D INTELLECT

#5 CHANGE MASTER

3 Guidelines for adaptability.

(Why not test experiment,

and compare the results?)
