How do the most innovative people and groups adapt to changing circumstances?
Throughout his career as a renowned journalist, bestselling author, and CEO Shane Snow has studied the hidden habits of groups that exceed the sum of their parts (Dream Teams), the tactics of innovators who change industries and nations (Smartcuts), and the psychological strategies of leaders who spur massive movements (The Storytelling Edge).
Now Shane is back with a rollicking exploration into the surprising attributes of people and groups in history who faced sweeping change and didn’t just survive it, but leveled up because of it.
From the Polynesian navigators who faced hurricanes and conquerors, to the Luddites who smashed their weaving machines; from history’s worst decision-making king to its cleverest pirate king; from bombing survivors who found post-traumatic growth to leaders who pulled businesses from the brink of technological disruption, in Superadaptors, Shane draws dotted lines between the patterns of our past and the challenges of our present.
In a world where no one will utter the words “things aren’t changing as fast as they used to” again, we all need to become Superadaptors.
In his new Superadaptors keynotes, Shane Snow uses science and history to teach:
How to make it psychologically easier to change direction when it’s hard
How to open others up to changing and adapting when it’s easy to resist
How to spot new opportunities and create optionality in the midst of change
How to build the skills of Superadaptors within an organization
8 years of research & interviews
Over 80 scientific studies dissected
and An epic journey through history
to unearth the hidden attributes of people who thrive in the midst of massive change
"Charismatic, insightful, humorous, inspirational, and an enormous breath of fresh air."
