This requires us to adapt. Yet, the same conditions that make adapting so important can also trigger fear, leading us to resist change and default to reactive behavior. The authors call this the \u0026ldquo;adaptability paradox\u0026rdquo;: when we most need to learn and change, we stick with what we know, often in ways that stifle learning and innovation. To avoid this trap, leaders must become proactive so they can lead ahead of the curve.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnter \u003cem\u003eDeliberate Calm\u003c/em\u003e, a tangible guide that combines cutting-edge neuroscience, psychology, and consciousness practices, along with the authors\u0026rsquo; decades of experience working with leaders around the globe.
