What does enterprise agility really look like in the age of AI?

In our latest blog, we explore key lessons from Sanjiv Augustine’s Leadership in Flux podcast conversations with Lenka Pincot, Michael Carrel, and Jim Highsmith, covering adaptive leadership, human-centered transformation, and how organizations can thrive in an increasingly complex world.

As AI reshapes how organizations operate, agility is no longer just about frameworks and faster delivery. It’s about building organizations that can continuously learn, adapt, and deliver value.

What leadership style does your team need right now?

The answer may be different than it was six months ago, or even six weeks ago.

At the 2026 Global Agility + Innovation Summit, Chris Sims led an engaging workshop, "Adaptive Leadership for Successful Change," exploring how leaders can adapt their approach as organizations navigate transformation, uncertainty, and emerging technologies like AI.

Using Daniel Goleman's six leadership styles alongside the Satir Change Model, Chris challenged participants to think beyond one-size-fits-all leadership and consider how different approaches can help teams move through change more effectively.

Key insights from the session include:
🔹 Why adaptive leadership is critical in times of disruption
🔹 How different leadership styles support people at different stages of change
🔹 Practical ways to respond to evolving team and organizational needs
🔹 Strategies for leading with greater flexibility, empathy, and effectiveness

In this insightful presentation, she shares practical approaches for:
✅ Evaluating AI opportunities through the lens of intentionality
