Cultivating Adaptive Leaders to Drive System and Policy Change
Hinton, Lee; Gaisie, Nana Esi; Schnake, Kerrie L.; Zoubak, Ekaterina
ZERO TO THREE, v40 n5 p12-19 May 2020
Adaptive leadership requires that practitioners push the boundaries of current policies and systems to provide optimal services to children and families. This process includes self-reflection, strategic positioning, building relationships with advocates, inspiring service providers and policymakers, and creating a shared vision. This article explores the use of adaptive leadership to move systems and policies forward in a hospital setting in Ghana, provincial and community-based work in Canada, and through infant and early childhood mental health networks. Building relationships and empowering leaders to advocate both independently and as part of a group can help leverage the influence needed for change.
