Christine Spadafor, JD — Adaptive Leadership

Christine’s career path has taken her from bedside nurse to law school to consultant to the boardroom.  She helps businesses and institutions navigate and prepare for change, no matter the source of the disruption -- social, technological, economic, environmental, or political.

Today’s episode focuses on the role of the leader during times of change. Change is hard. Adaptive leaders recognize that but are able to see the big, holistic picture, and they don’t shy away from doing what’s in the best interest of the organization and, ultimately, its employees and stakeholders. Christine walks us through her STEEP framework, and we discuss the characteristics and attributes of adaptive leaders. She also explains the stages of systemic change within an organization and how leaders can best communicate with all involved.  

In today’s episode you’ll learn:

• How Christine went from nurse to lawyer to consultant and board member
• About adaptive leadership
• The characteristics and attributes of adaptive leaders
• What to expect with systems change and now to prepare for it
