Adapt: Mastering change in four steps

Transform your life and your career with the four steps to adapt effectively to change: Engage, Accept, Activate, Release.   ‘A powerful playbook to lead and master change.’ Dominic Price, Atlassian   After the global pause in 2020, we returned to a world that feels faster, looser, and less structured – our professional boundaries have been erased, social and cultural norms are shifting rapidly, and at the same time, we're facing profound developments in artificial intelligence. We're facing more change more often, and we're applying a mindset that is simply outdated and no longer fit-for-purpose. Adapt offers a fresh perspective. Andrea Clarke, the award-winning author of Future Fit, argues that rather than retreat from change or resist it, we must engage with it continuously – learning not just how change unfolds, but how we can shape it. With four simple yet powerful principles, she shows how to explore new possibilities using the 80/20 rule, test out small-scale strategies for long-term benefits, and analyse possible futures by flipping the facts and running ‘what if’ scenarios. Whether you’re navigating a business or seeking more stability in your personal life, Adapt will equip you with a new way to master change in an unpredictable world. Our ability to reconcile the past few years – and make sense of what lies ahead – depends entirely on our capacity to adapt. This book reframes change as a powerful tool for growth, opportunity, and lasting transformation.
