Discussion 2
Adaptive work is accomplished by finding a solution to seemingly intractable problems facing leaders; the solution is neither technical, nor obvious. As the material illustrates, leaders must motivate organization members to face demanding situations that arise from the organization's own culture and values. Using the organization you chose within this week's first discussion, analyze an adaptive challenge facing this organization. 200 WORDS

Analyze your approach to resolving the problem. Be certain to include questions that would arise, and what trade-offs may be required in your analysis.
