Empathy in Leadership Edition #6

Welcome to this week’s edition, where we dive into being “adaptable.”

Here is a story: During the Covid-19 crisis, my team went remote, as probably most of yours, I started a virtual “Watercooler Moment,” a 15-minute videocall with random 2-3 participants every week to check in, update on family-work-life that kept us connected.

In a constantly evolving world, adaptable leaders are the ones who thrive, and their teams.

Here's why:

1. Navigating Change: They quickly adjust strategies and priorities, making their teams resilient in the face of uncertainty.

2. Problem Solving: They can pivot when challenges arise and find creative solutions that keep their organizations on course.

3. Empowering Teams: Adaptable leaders encourage their teams to be flexible and innovative.

4. Embracing Diversity: Adaptability means being open to different perspectives and ideas and recognizing the strength that various viewpoints bring.

5. Thriving in Complexity: They can synthesize information, analyze risks, and make informed decisions despite uncertain conditions.

Adaptability is the trait that ensures leaders remain relevant, dynamic, and effective.
