Times are turbulent, chaotic, and complex. Right now, every hour seems to bring a new challenge, and change feels more and more radical. Resources are short, and expectations are high. People who are under great stress can become defensive and erratic, or passive and helpless. Novel problems demand creative solutions, at the same time that organizations and teams are stretching to the breaking point.

Whether or not you are a frontline supervisor or an executive director, you are likely feeling the pressures of this context. This is like no other time, and it requires adaptive leadership.

Lisa Negstad has trained hundreds of supervisors to respond to normal challenges of day-to-day change. Now, she is partnering with Glenda Eoyang of Human Systems Dynamics Institute, to help you cope with this VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) environment.

During this training, which is offered as a series of six monthly 90-minute sessions, Lisa and Glenda will provide you with frameworks and tools to improve your ability to supervise others in a constantly changing, uncertain context.

Through these six sessions, you will:

• Relieve stress for yourself and your staff when you feel more competent to manage in this context,
• Analyze what types of problems you're facing and adapt your leadership accordingly,
• Prepare for a future you can't predict or control,
• Build your own story about change and how your team will survive (and even thrive) through it, and
• Practice tools and models and join a community of people who share your challenges and opportunities.
