Much has been said about IQ and EQ, but what leaders need now in this quick-shifting business environment is AI (Adaptability Intelligence) – the Emotional and Social Intelligence Leadership Competency that entails having the flexibility to handle change, balance multiple demands, and adapt to new situations with fresh ideas. (Goleman et al., 2017). This flexibility requires emotional maturity, a critical skill that we at ASB rank among the top Smart skills of the future.
What does adaptable leadership look like? Think of it like water – shapeshifting to meet challenges as they arise; persistently carving through obstacles while remaining gentle and yielding on the surface; and finding new paths to flow towards even when seemingly trapped – all while remaining clean and pure by being consistently authentic.
In this course, emerging mid-level leaders and managers will be equipped with a toolkit to help them navigate the shifting waters of uncertainty, while leading with courage and humanity to thrive in times of great change.
“The best leaders are fluid like water, adapting to the environment they find themselves in. In today’s increasingly digital world, leaders must navigate unchartered virtual environments all while continuing to engender respect and deliver results.”
