The world isn’t black or white. It isn’t even shades of gray. The world of complexity invites you beyond expectations for simple either/or answers. It stretches you beyond naïve both/and solutions. Emergent uncertainty of complex adaptive environments demands more. You will thrive in the turbulence and instability when you see, understand, and navigate the tensions of irreconcilable paradox.
Join this dialogue to master Interdependent Pairs and find the power in “Which? To what degree? When?”

Your options for action depend on what you see. What you see depends on what you look for. If you are looking for problems and barriers, you will surely find them. Then your only choice will be to solve the problems and break down the barriers. This is great as long as it works, but you will be totally stuck when you run into problems without solutions or impermeable barriers. In those moments, you need better ways to see and more options for action.
Pattern Logic multiplies your options for action because it helps you see hidden potential instead of problems and barriers. This LVW introduces and deepens the concepts and tools of Pattern Logic to help people everywhere see their way to better outcomes.

Developed to support the ESMEE course of the same title, this book responds to the four key challenges of medical education today:
Lead at the edge of uncertainty
Work better together
Find the fix that fits
Make the good better
Lead in Complexity
Dynamical Leadership builds on metaphors from complexity science and chaos theory to change the way you think about the leadership landscape in times of unbelievable change. Dynamical change is
unpredictable, entangled on many dimensions, and is full of energy, power, motion, motivational force, and vigor. It is also characterized by continuous change, activity, or progress. This kind of change requires a different kind of leader who knows
how to see and influence patterns, use differences for maximum capacity building, and engage people in a new way.
Manage Strategic Change
This HSD Primer provides change leaders with a clear understanding of how to use Adaptive Action and Pattern Logic to bring about system-wide change in today's rapidly shifting landscape. Change leaders need a solid foundation from which to guide their organizations toward greater adaptability.
Build Adaptive Capacity
The first rule for getting unstuck is, “Don’t tell yourself not to panic!” It is a waste of time because you’re going to panic anyway. Besides, sometimes a little panic can be a very useful thing.
When that is behind you, go to Step 1.
Same and different is a way to identify patterns in what may seem to
be random activity. In our book,
Adaptive Action, Leveraging Uncertainty in Your Organization
, we define patterns as similarities, differences, and connections
that have meaning across space and time. When you begin to identify
those things that are similar and different in your sticky issue, you
begin to name the patterns you see.
