Abstract

Purpose

Traditional management models are no longer viable in this complex era, with fast-pacing markets and various emergent properties affecting organizational success. The present study acknowledges the need for developing a coherent framework that leaders may use to evaluate their organizational adaptive ability.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper uses theoretical analysis.

Findings

This paper proposes the CAL-R framework, which identifies key characteristics of complex adaptive systems (CAS). These actionable elements, manifested in respective behaviors, will increase organizational adaptability. Adaptability is then suggested to be the mediating factor between complex adaptive leadership practice and organizational performance.

Research limitations/implications

The suggested actionable elements are developed based on a theoretical, non-measurable approach; however, the need for statistical rigorousness is also acknowledged. Further research and a quantitative approach are also suggested for the development of a sound measurement scale.

Practical implications

Applying effective complex adaptive leadership will potentially provide organizations with a competitive advantage by making them more innovative, able to transform and adapt to environmental needs and changes and eventually meet their goals and reach their vision. Leaders may use the identified actionable elements as benchmarks against which they can evaluate their organizations' complex adaptive leadership readiness (CAL-R).

Originality/value

The CAL-R framework may be used by leaders in order to evaluate their organization’s current adaptive maturity level (ability) and identify the elements they need to focus on more and develop in order to become more adaptive and competitive.

确定评估组织复杂适应性领导力准备程度的关键要素(CAL-R 框架):为开发测量工具铺平道路
目的在这个复杂的时代,传统的管理模式已不再可行,快速发展的市场和各种新出现的特性影响着组织的成功。研究结果本文提出了 CAL-R 框架,该框架确定了复杂适应系统(CAS)的关键特征。这些可操作的要素通过各自的行为表现出来,将提高组织的适应能力。研究局限/启示本文提出的可操作要素是基于一种理论性的、不可测量的方法;然而,本文也承认统计严谨性的必要性。实践意义应用有效的复合适应型领导力将为组织带来潜在的竞争优势,使其更具创新性,能够转变并适应环境需求和变化,最终实现目标和愿景。领导者可将确定的可操作要素作为基准,据此评估其组织的复杂适应性领导力准备程度(CAL-R)。原创性/价值领导者可利用CAL-R框架评估其组织当前的适应性成熟度(能力),并确定他们需要更加关注和发展的要素,以提高适应性和竞争力。
