To lead effectively in the modern world, leaders must learn and adopt bold new skills that are relevant and adaptive to an unpredictable, constantly changing future. Adaptive, relationship-based leadership skills are required to define the vision for the organization's future and align teams behind a clear path to achieving that vision. Waldron works with leaders individually and in teams to:

• Define and articulate the vision of the organization's ideal future state.
• Challenge and discard out-dated leadership approaches that reinforce the current state.
• Build adaptive leadership skills at individual and team levels to learn, lead, and excel in a constantly changing environment. Rethink, redefine, and cement leadership relationships to unleash new levels of performance, innovation, collaboration, and trust.

To achieve organizational transformation, leaders must be willing to disrupt the status quo. Waldron works with organizations to positively disrupt the current state that holds the organization back from peak performance. Waldron guides leaders and organizations to:

• Identify, celebrate and preserve what works well in the organization.
• Let go of philosophies, cultural norms, and out-dated modes of leading and working that hold the organization back.
• Innovate and take action to fill the gaps created between what is working and what must discarded.
• Deliver results while learning—develop skills and capacity in the context of actual work in progress.

In activating a positive disruption, the Waldron team leverages thought leadership and proven methodologies to safely challenge the current state. We apply a combination of whole systems interventions, team and targeted stakeholder facilitation and support and, as needed, individual coaching to address pockets of resistance and build capacity. We encourage leaders and teams to experiment, to fail fast and safe, and to develop skills to work in new ways.

A strong, resilient, and adaptive culture is the linchpin to lasting organizational transformation. Waldron works at all levels within the organization to shift and reinforce a culture that is vigilantly aligned behind a shared strategic vision—sustaining the behaviors that drive results, regardless of the changing landscape. Fundamental to lasting results for our clients is "planned obsolescence," in which we design a scaled withdrawal of our consulting support into the consulting engagement plan. To achieve lasting change, Waldron works with the organization as a whole to:

• Reinforce values and cultural norms that drive innovation, decisive action, and collaboration.
• Advise and coach individual teams to course-correct when behaviors revert to the old paradigm.
• Coach individual leaders to reinforce new leadership muscles and stay the course. Identify and work with key pivot points and pockets of resistance in the organization to drive, achieve, and sustain change.
