Agile isn't dying-it's evolving.
Organizations stuck in outdated rituals are being left behind. Those led by adaptable, forward-thinking leaders are the ones thriving.
In The Adaptive Leader, Giles Lindsay redefines what agility means now.
He dismantles the myth that Agile is obsolete and shows how it's entering a powerful new chapter-one that demands leadership, not just process.
This groundbreaking book blends bold insights with practical tools, including the CLEAR Model®, the Team Empowerment Checklist, and the Business Agility Roadmap. It bridges the gap between theory and action, giving you everything you need to embed agility into your organization's core.
You'll learn how to:
- Shift from doing Agile to truly being Agile.
- Tackle resistance by changing leadership habits and culture.
- Measure what matters-real outcomes, not ritual checklists.
- Scale agility across every function, from HR to finance to marketing.
- Lead through disruption with confidence, clarity, and calm.
If you're ready to stop going through the motions and start building lasting adaptability, this book is your guide.
Because Agile isn't dead. But how you lead it will decide its future.
