Balancing Perseverance with Agility

Introduction

Today’s leaders need to be able to adapt and stay focused in the age of uncertainly. This collection of articles from MIT Sloan Management Review examines the need for continual reinvention, the ways to tap creativity strategically, and the fact that to grow as executives, people sometimes have to manage their strongest tendencies.

From “Creating Management Processes Built for Change”:

• Agile organizations continuously adjust to changing circumstances by changing product offerings, entering or exiting markets, or building new capabilities.
