About this episode
In episode 8 of this 12-part series, Niels Brabandt and Dr. Adrian Wolfberg, author of Who Leads When AI Thinks, introduce adaptive capacity, the leadership competency for absorbing new information and updating understanding without becoming disoriented. Dr. Adrian Wolfberg explains why more information can paradoxically reduce learning, and offers two diagnostic questions every leader can use immediately.
