Adaptive leadership – a way forward?

I believe we spend far too much time talking about the inspirational parts of leadership not the perspiration parts of leadership. Leadership requires the courage to give up things that are important. Think about it how many marketing teams today are busily doing lots of important things. Everyone right. Makes you think that doing the right things and perhaps even stopping some important things might be a way forward.

For me productivity is about getting things done and strategic thinking is about getting the right things done well. Leadership is focusing your team on what to do and having the courage to guide them on what not to do.

Here’s a perspective from Marty Linsky at TEDx. Adaptive leadership Marty Linsky
