Adaptive change is a term coined by Harvard leadership guru and writer Ron Heifitz referring to deep organizational change – changing values, ideas or ways of doing things.  Five keys to leading adaptive change – and doing so with an open heart – is the topic of the article by Ronald A.

Nifty animal parable too.
