Abstract:
In today's fast paced and ever-changing business world, leaders have less time to learn more about
business and leadership. We will examine popular techniques to teach emerging leaders to be adaptive.
Adaptive leadership encourages leaders to target individual styles based on age, education, cultural
origin, and style. Instead of accepting the dominant style of the leader, the leader varies his or her
approach to engage employees on their terms. "Adaptive teaching" is an extension of the same idea.
Understanding how to appeal to learners based upon their generation and style can help engage them in
the learning process.
