“Through this [Adaptive Leadership] program, I realized that there are many kinds of [leadership] styles and values I should now begin to practise.”
“The term ‘adaptive challenge’ is a new concept. I learned how to identify and address a technical challenge versus an adaptive challenge. It definitely made me realize that we need to think deeper before making a decision or taking action.”
“The training on adaptive leadership taught me new skills on how to thrive in this fast-changing world.”
“To have a sustainable business, adaptive leadership is needed.”
“This course uses real life case studies and examples to help us apply adaptive leadership in real life. The takeaways from this course made me realize the need to gain support among colleagues and managers to push for change.”
