Discussion: Your initial discussion thread is due and you have to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses.

Adaptive Leadership

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.

1. Describe the adaptive work that needs to be accomplished.

2. 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.

3. Describe the desired outcome.

Guided Response: Analyze several of your peers' posts. Give advice to at least two of your peers suggesting any approaches you have found that may prove to be helpful in conducting their adaptive work.
