They asked initially “What are your stress levels right now?” – it’s important to have an awareness of your stress levels. When you work in conservation it’s so much more than just a job. It is all consuming. So often it’s about a lifestyle more than a career.

Adaptive leadership is an approach that draws on many different styles – in practice it looks like challenging the status quo or perhaps raising a taboo issue. Trying to change the system from the inside.

Why does adaptive leadership work well in conservation?

In environmentalism there are so many issues that are adaptive challenges such as climate change, species extinction, habitat destruction and within the conservation sector we are looking to make long term changes, to bring about impactful change.

Tori provides examples of technical and adaptive challenges and how these need to be managed in different ways.

This live event shows us how you can grow as a leader to be adaptive?
