How do we develop leaders who are adaptable, agile and able to help our organizations evolve in the face of an unpredictable environment?
When organizations confront this challenge they turn to Don Vandergriff.

He is the leading thinker and practitioner of Adaptive Leader development and his ideas are innovative, powerful and effective.
