Navigating Disruptive Change - Advice for Leaders from Polly LaBarre
NAVIGATING DISRUPTIVE CHANGE
As a leader, you and your organization confront the unexpected every single day.
In an environment of constant disruption, the survival skill of our times is the ability to adapt on-the-fly. The foundation of that competency is a culture that is resilient, innovative, and constantly experimenting.
In formulating a response to disruption, leaders must recognize - first and foremost - that all change goes against the rules. Polly LaBarre has devoted her career to uncovering the best examples of leaders and organizations that are succeeding by thinking differently about the forces driving change inside and outside their organizations. Polly is co-author of Mavericks at Work - Why the Most Original Minds in Business Win and also founding writer of Fast Company magazine. As co-founder of Management Lab, the think-and-do tank that provides counsel to top companies all over the globe, Polly tackles real-world obstacles to organizational competitiveness by helping clients create cultures that can adapt to change almost as fast as change itself.
I asked Polly for her best advice for leaders who are navigating today’s unpredictable business environment. Here are highlights.

The inductees included women I instantly recognized: Jane Fonda, Sonia Sotomayor, Angela Davis, Diane von Furstenberg, and Gloria Allred. Then there were others who, though I didn't recognize them, were equally exceptional and accomplished women. And then there was my friend, COL. NICOLE MALACHOWSKI, USAF (Ret.)
Remembering 9/11 - The day I will never forget
It was a beautiful Tuesday morning.

We talked about it being a “perfect morning” as I got into my car and headed for work on Tuesday, September 11, 2001.
