Successful leaders are adaptable and flexible from "summary" of Visionary Leadership by Burt Nanus

Visionary leaders possess a unique ability to navigate through ever-changing circumstances with ease and grace. This ability is rooted in their adaptability and flexibility, allowing them to thrive in the face of uncertainty and challenges. Their willingness to embrace change and adjust their strategies accordingly sets them apart from their peers. In the fast-paced world of business, successful leaders must be able to pivot quickly and effectively in response to shifting market trends and emerging technologies. They understand that rigidity is a recipe for failure, and instead choose to remain open-minded and willing to explore new ideas and approaches. This flexibility enables them to stay ahead of the curve and maintain a competitive edge. Moreover, visionary leaders are adept at balancing the need for stability with the demands of innovation. They recognize that while consistency is important, so too is the ability to adapt to new circumstances and seize opportunities as they arise. By remaining flexible in their approach, they can respond swiftly to emerging threats and capitalize on emerging trends. At the heart of adaptability and flexibility lies a willingness to embrace ambiguity and discomfort. Visionary leaders understand that change is inevitable, and that the only way to thrive in uncertain times is to lean into the unknown. They are not afraid to take risks or make tough decisions, knowing that these are often the key to unlocking new opportunities and driving growth.
