For decades, business leaders have held up adaptability as a virtue. Whether pursuing growth, streamlining operations or improving the employee experience, iteration is one of the most important drivers of impact. And the ability to pivot based on new information has never been more important. Coronavirus-induced uncertainty makes it impossible to predict what next month will bring, let alone next year. Despite widespread acceptance of the benefits of being change-capable, many team leaders are uncertain about how to go about developing teams that can shift gears at pace. This article, which is part of a series on high-performing teams, explores what adaptability is, why it is so hard to put into practice and how to build the muscles necessary to test, learn and pivot your team’s way to success.
Being adaptive means more than just changing the course of the work one's team is doing. There is a spectrum of shifts that teams might consider, all of which demonstrate some degree of flexibility, require change and can have a major impact on results.
