Adaptive Leadership Enhanced by Adaption-Innovation Theory

Kaufman Collection

This is the Google Notebook LM Audio Overview of "Advancing Adaptive Leadership Through Adaption-Innovation Theory: Enhancements to the Holding Environment," an article published in the Journal of Leadership Studies. Acknowledging limited empirical support for adaptive leadership, Seibel and colleagues connect adaptive leadership with Kirton's Adaption-Innovation (A-I) theory, which posits that individuals have preferred problem-solving styles ranging from adaptive to innovative. The paper explores how a leader's A-I style influences the "holding environment" in adaptive leadership, particularly in fostering a "productive zone of disequilibrium." Notably, integrating A-I theory can enhance the practical application of adaptive leadership by better understanding and leveraging cognitive diversity in problem-solving and change initiatives.
