Adapting Adaptive Work: Perspectives on the Work of Ronald Heifetz

Description: This session will probe Ronald Heifetz’s concept of adaptive work from several distinct disciplinary perspectives. It will add dimensions to the concept and explore its neglected elements. Each paper integrates new theoretical insights into the nature of adaptive work, particularly in relationship to the conference theme.

    A Theory of Type IV Leadership

    Description: Heifetz explains the pressure to convert adaptive work into technical work but leaves Type IV without complete attention. This paper begins to examine the leadership scenario in which decision makers choose a certain solution to an unclear problem and the factors that contribute to this avoidance of adaptive challenges by ignoring them.

      Richard Couto, Union Institute and University

    Discussing Undiscussables: Exercising Adaptive Leadership with Wisdom and Courage

    Description: This paper explores the expansion of Heifetz’s notion of adaptive leadership adding the underlying elements of wisdom and courage, missing from his framework, and places it in the context of managing undiscussables in the workplace. Undiscussables are open secrets, prevalent in most organizations, which play havoc with workplace effectiveness.

      Linda Klonsky, Fielding Graduate University

    Engendering Adaptive Work

    Description: This paper discusses Engendering Adaptive Work, highlighting feminist perspectives in two key areas, 1) the gendered values women leaders bring to the enterprise of adaptive work, and 2) the dual challenge of adaptive work for women leaders, leadership legitimation, and simultaneous attention to complex adaptive challenges facing the organization.

      Bernice Ledbetter, Pepperdine University

    A Theology of Adaptive Work

    Description: Starting with Heifetz’s idea that leadership at its core is about a relationship of shared values moving an organization towards behavioral and attitudinal change, the paper argues for a theory of pastoral leadership and change firmly rooted in the theology of the church.

With God on All Sides: Leadership in a Devout and Diverse America (Oxford University Press, 2009)

Description: For elected officials, school principals, corporate leaders, and many others, religious diversity poses unique challenges. Although the devout possess moral and spiritual resources that can enrich civic life, leaders must also be prepared to cope with nearly inevitable conflicts between people of different faiths. Yet wise leaders can find ways to transform the problem of diversity into an opportunity. In this session, the author will present his framework for how leaders can help create religious crossroads and connectors, and will explore the challenges and pitfalls, successes, and setbacks of the Obama administration thus far. A prominent Czech public intellectual will make further comments on the book and consider its implications for understanding of civic and political leadership in the U.S. and other nations.

    Description: Leaders belonging to socially devalued groups, such as women and ethnic minorities, are acutely aware that others might be responding to them on the basis of their group membership.
