episode 10 - the word is myxoma

For this 10th episode of "The Word is Leadership." Our random word is "MYXOMA," a term related to a rabbit virus. Using the example of rabbits in Australia, Emmanuel decides to focus on what he calls the action, reaction, adaptation cycle and its implications for leaders.

He explains how the introduction of rabbits led to unforeseen consequences, triggering the need for actions and adaptations. The lesson for leaders is to recognize that any action produces a reaction, but over time, adaptation occurs. This cycle, known as the action, reaction, adaptation cycle, is crucial for anticipating and understanding changes in various contexts.

Drawing a parallel with business, Emmanuel encourages leaders to think beyond the immediate action-reaction phase and consider the long-term adaptation. By doing this, they can differentiate themselves, anticipate changes, and avoid being trapped in a reactive trajectory.
