Discussion

In the reading, Wheatley constructs an approach to adaptive  leadership and followership with a twist. She suggests this is a messy  era which is full of adaptive challenges for leaders and followers. A  recurring question is, “How is it that we failed to learn that whenever  we try to impose control on people and situations, we only serve to make  them more uncontrollable” (Wheatley 2005, p. 4)?  In this discussion,  examine Wheatley’s twist and propose your interpretation of the twist.
