Adaptability is an essential quality for successful leaders. In fact, without it, leaders could remain too rigid and not allow themselves to get ahead of the curve when noticing that what they are doing is no longer working.
so, how can leaders develop an adaptive way of thinking and acting in order to remain competitive?
Let’s look at it in an article published by safety4sea.
Flexible thinking
Having an elastic approach allows leaders to use different thinking strategies and mental frameworks.
Plan ahead
Rather than getting stuck on one solution to solve a problem, adaptable leaders have a plan B in place for when plan A doesn’t work.
Be curious
Curiosity helps to open the mind, enable growth, encourages new ideas, and is a fundamental principle of adaptive leadership.
Leverage diversity
Having a diverse workforce in gender, race, sexual orientation and ways of thinking allows organizations and leaders to remain open to different perspectives.
Be resilient
Being able to bounce back quickly when things go south is also a great way for leaders to become more adaptable.
