“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.”

— Charles Darwin

Highly adaptive leaders have the ability to quickly develop new insights into situations, questions conventional approaches, and encourages new ideas and innovations that implement new or cutting-edge programs/processes.
