About this book
Leadership today is measured not by control, but by adaptability. Organizations that cling to rigid habits fall behind. Those led by adaptive leaders move forward with clarity, confidence, and resilience.
In The Adaptive Leader, Giles Lindsay shows why the future belongs to leaders who embrace adaptability as their greatest strength. He reveals how agility is no longer a process to be 'done', but a mindset to be lived—woven into culture, strategy, and execution.
Blending insight with practical tools, it equips leaders with proven frameworks including the CLEAR Model®, the Team Empowerment Checklist, the Leadership Moves Map, and the Business Agility Roadmap. These tools help you:
- Replace outdated habits with adaptive leadership practices.
- Build trust and empower teams to act with autonomy.
- Focus on outcomes that matter, not rituals that drain.
- Extend agility across every function, from HR to finance to product.
- Lead with calm and purpose in uncertain times.
This is not another manual on frameworks. It is a leadership playbook for creating resilient, innovative, and human-centred organizations.
The Adaptive Leader is your guide to thriving in complexity.
