8. Revisiting Adaptive Leadership “Big Ideas”
February Lab Work
Revisiting Adaptive Leadership “Big Ideas”
Knowing your passion is critical when leading
Requires leaders to “get on the balcony” and to know your own biases
Emphasis on adaptive challenges vs. solving technical problems
Leadership happens at all levels, regardless of position
Requires learning from stakeholders not authority
Work that engages the “gut” and addition to the “head”
Leaders understand and embrace the resistance that comes with LOSS

9. Design Thinking
Stay Here Today!

10. Framing February’s Lab Discussion
1. Reflect to practice “getting on the balcony”:
Reflect on your site visit(s): What did you observe?
Share other stakeholder perspectives gathered so far..
Reflect on what might be emerging as Adaptive challenges and how they distinguish themselves Technical challenges.

11. Framing February’s Lab Discussion
2. Go Deep to practice “empathizing” within the context of adaptive leadership “big ideas”:
Who are stakeholders who are not in positions of authority to seek out?
Who are the uncharacteristic leaders you can seek out?
What logistical planning do you need to do today to practice even more empathy by the March session?

12. Where is this all leading? April Presentation Guidelines
Provide specific examples of how the Team was able to “Get on the Balcony” with the information brought forth through site visits and other outreach methods practicing the “empathize” step of design thinking.
Provide specific examples of Adaptive challenges the Team discovered and explain how they differed from the Technical challenges found along the way. Adaptive challenges can materialize at the individual, organizational, and/or ecosystem levels.

13. Where is this all leading? April Presentation Guidelines - Continued
Develop an action plan to tackle one or more of the Adaptive challenges. The plan should include a strategy(s) to deal “head on” with the resistance that will come with loss. Identify all who stand to loose in the change process. As leader, talk about how you will confront, navigate or mitigate loss that any stakeholders may face.
Since Adaptive challenges are difficult because they require people to change their ways, consider what might be: conserved, discarded, or reinvented.
Bonus: Identify any leverage points: Pent-up energy for change, Bright spots, and Ripple effects.
Bonus, Bonus: Have conversations with those who stand to lose in the change process.
