The authors argue that leaders must adapt to the rapid pace of change in our complex world, but also avoid the "adaptability paradox" where they stick with their existing knowledge, often stifling learning and innovation. By practicing Dual Awareness, they aim to help leaders become fluid and respond to challenges with intentional choice, allowing them to realize their full potential in uncertain, complex, and changing times. The guide offers a tangible solution for leaders to navigate the adaptability paradox and lead ahead of the curve.
