The AQ Factor: Building Adaptive People, Teams & Companies

There are two types of companies: Those that achieve incredible amounts of success only to crumble when they fail to keep up with the world around them, and those that achieve the same level of success but are also able to sustain it, through adaptability, forward thinking, and tenacity. The companies in this second group are the ones that consistently withstand supply chain disruptions, global health crises, economic disasters, and more.
We’ve invited two great friends of the podcast, FedEx EVP/CIO for Global Operations Technologies Ken Spangler, and former Accenture managing director Steve Davis, founder of AdaptiveION, to help us understand how these thriving companies develop adaptive people, teams, and organizations to achieve that kind of staying power.
