Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS)

The primary unit of analysis in complexity theory Sets of interactive agents (associates) linked by

common purpose(s), outlooks, etc. Internally and externally interactive, cross- and

inter-embedded Interdependent in varying degrees

Emergence occurs in context of interaction,interdependency, and embeddedness.

These functions are e ntangled.

Entanglement describes a dynamicrelationship between the formal top-down,innovations and the informal, complexly adaptive emergent forces of socialsystems.

Adaptive Leadership Adaptive leadership refers to adaptive, creative, andlearning actions that emerge nonlinearly from the

interactions of individuals and of CAS as they strive toadjust to tension (e.g., constraints or perturbations)

The spaces between agents (associates). It originates in struggles among agents (associates) andgroups over conflicting needs, ideas, or preferences.

It emerges as, or contributes to, movements, alliances

of people, ideas, or technologies, and cooperativeefforts.

Enabling Leadership

Acts to enable conditions in which complexdynamics can thrive, including interaction,interdependency, tension

Moderates relationship between adaptive andadministrative leadership

Helps assure movement of adaptive change withinthe bureaucracy

Administrative Leadership

Plans, coordinates, organizes the structure withinwhich CAS evolve

Protects the creative, adaptive dynamic

Creates strategy , one which includes adaptiveorganizational flexibility Provides resources for ongoing support
