Abstract

If the ability to lead and manage change is the great differentiator in today's increasingly fast‐paced business environment, then executives who can adapt to change, rather than simply cope with it, will be the ones who consistently deliver outstanding results. A model to frame adaptability focuses on two dimensions: courage and curiosity. With motivation and opportunities, both can be developed.
