Course overview

People often resist change because they don’t see any problems with the way their organization works and don’t feel responsible for its success or failure. Different groups of people have different values, loyalties, and ways of interpreting issues, which can create boundaries against change. For them, the system isn’t broken and doesn’t need fixing.

When facing adaptive challenges, great adaptive leaders mobilize everyone to tackle tough problems. Importantly, they encourage a sense of shared responsibility while reaching across boundaries. There are 7 steps they can follow to make sure their change intervention successfully mobilizes people. They’ll also need to have some strategies to identify people’s boundaries to change and overcome them.
