Adaptive work lives in the zone of productive disequilibrium — that uncomfortable space where old patterns no longer work, but new ones haven't emerged yet. 

Most people either avoid this zone entirely (keeping everyone comfortable but stuck) or create so much heat that people check out, blame each other, or revert to self-protection. 

The art of leadership is regulating the temperature: raising the heat enough to surface what's being avoided, then lowering it just enough to keep people engaged and learning. 

In this session, we'll explore: 

• What Is Disequilibrium? Why transformation requires discomfort (and why that's not cruelty) 

• Raising the Heat: Tactics for surfacing avoided conflicts, naming losses, and making the status quo untenable 

• Lowering the Heat: When to provide direction, slow the pace, or create relief valves 

• The Holding Environment: How to create the container where people can stay in the heat without falling apart 

• Real Case Example: How one leader orchestrated productive disequilibrium to unlock breakthrough (while avoiding cultural meltdown) 

You'll leave with: 

• A diagnostic to assess the "temperature" in your system right now 

• Practical tactics for raising and lowering the heat intentionally 

• More personal bandwidth whether it is a bigger stomach for discomfort or more patience when things need to ripen a little longer 

This session is for you if: 

• You're facing a stuck pattern that everyone knows about but no one wants to name 

• You've been accused of being "too nice" or "too intense" (or both) 

• You want to lead transformation without resorting to command-and-control or letting chaos take over
