Description
Summary:Today organizations come across situations where traditional methods no longer bring the preferred results. When organizations use complex adaptive systems in their strategy, it can lead to building systems that can quickly evolve solutions that are effective and adaptive (Anderson, 1999). These dynamic systems necessitate different leadership approaches. This paper will share how a leader would align the organization's strategy, structure, and processes with its external environment, as well as assess the relationships between organizational structure, performance, and dynamic environments, evaluate the relationship between environment, organizational performance, and the inter-organizational and intra-organizational fit, evaluates the application of paradox as a theoretical lens to understand and to lead contemporary organizations in dynamic environments, and evaluates how complexity leadership generates innovation, learning, and adaptation of the organization.
