  Date: 01/06/2011 No only is the pace of change accelerating, the nature of change is different too, and that's presenting challenges for all business leaders - who may be toppled if they can't adapt to this new pressure-cooker business environment... Leaders who can't adapt to the pressure-cooker business environment will be under threat. Rapid change, indeed, the very nature of change, presents big challenges, and the constant demand for quick-fix solutions can make the life of business leaders tenuous. That warning from Peta Bayman, who points out that there's a difference between adaptive challenges and managing technical problems. Adaptive challenges require a response outside our current know-how and call for a big shift in values, beliefs, and ways of thinking and operating. Peta explains more about adaptive challenges and what's required to be successful in responding to them, including finding room for a more measured approach - "to move from the dance floor to the balcony" - to see more clearly and to start asking the more powerful questions about the road ahead.
