Overview

ADAPT is a framework for leading change that integrates organisational practice with human development. The book argues that every change process has two intertwined dimensions. One is the visible work of plans, structures and outcomes. The other is the less visible but equally powerful movement inside people as they make sense of disruption, navigate uncertainty and stretch into new ways of being.

The ADAPT model traces five movements that occur in any meaningful transformation: Awareness, Desire, Action, Practice and Transfer. Each movement has both an outer form, which shapes the work of change, and an inner form, which shapes how people grow through it. By bringing these two spirals together, the model helps leaders understand why change often falters and what enables it to hold.

The book blends real stories, developmental theory and practical leadership guidance. It explores topics such as power, collaboration, conflict, identity, systems thinking and the psychology of transition. It also offers practices that help leaders regulate themselves, read the emotional field of their organisation and create conditions where people can learn and contribute.

At its core, ADAPT presents change not as a technical exercise but as a developmental journey for individuals and systems. It invites leaders to approach change with clarity, curiosity and compassion, and to see it as a place where coherence, capability and culture can grow.
