Today I speak with Alexander Grashow of Cambridge Leadership who has just co written a new book called The Practice of Adaptive Leadership, which gives tools and tactics for leading in an ever changing world. The book looks at both individual and corporate development techniques. We talk about

• What kind of leadership is required in this changing world?
• How we need to engage people above and below the neck?
• How people are afraid of loss not change.
• How social systems are defined by the people in them
• How to approach an organisation when the leaders don't want to change
• How leadership is a verb not a job
• Is the idea of risk the same at both the individual level as well as the business level?
• How leadership is about challenging expectations.
• How to deal with the blockers!
• What you need to solve a business problem
• How to orchestrate conflict!
• What are the basic needs of an individual?
• Three areas which Alex challenges you to do ; Take more risk, extend your authority and display your incompetence
