Leading Through Disruption: Adaptive Leadership Strategies for Substance Misuse Prevention
Leading Through Disruption: Adaptive Leadership Strategies for Substance Misuse Prevention
In an era of shifting public health priorities, evolving policy landscapes, and unpredictable funding, prevention leaders need to know more than just best practices in prevention. They need strong leadership skills and an adaptive mindset. This 2-hour interactive, intermediate-level session explores the adaptive leadership framework as a vital strategy for the modern substance misuse prevention professional.
We will begin by identifying the specific sources of disruption currently shaking the field, then dive into the adaptive leadership model to distinguish between “technical fixes” and “adaptive work.” By bridging these theories with the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF), participants will engage in hands-on scenario planning to navigate real-world challenges. You’ll leave this session not just with a theory, but with a practical leadership playbook designed to spark innovation and ensure your prevention initiatives thrive in the face of change.
