Adaptive Capacity was the topic of the November 30 Women in Business Seminar Series webinar, presented by Maui Economic Development
24 small business owners joined online to listen to Pamela Stambaugh, President and Founder of Accountability Pays Inc, talk about Adaptive Capacity and how to respond to the challenges and uncertainty brought about not only by the wildfires of August 8, but also ongoing turmoil that exists in the nation today.
“Adaptive Capacity” is being able to be with what’s so, while being responsible for our impact on others. It is about leadership, and could also be titled “What? Blind Spots?” We can get trapped in our heads, stopped by circumstances, and bring less than our ideal selves to conversations that require more of us than our ordinary self. And we don’t know what we don’t know!
When it comes to managerial roles, this is particularly important because a manager’s behavior has impacts. Regardless of the circumstances managers find themselves in, they are not alone! Blind spots can have negative impacts on others! This inquiry covers the delicate balance between external forces, internal forces, and choices made. Adaptive Capacity, then, is the ability to adapt quickly and appropriately, driven by behaviors and limited by blind spots.
