Show Notes
In this episode, Host Johannes Schartau talks with Sylvia Taylor, a pioneer in bringing Liberating Structures to Europe and a leading voice in organizational change. Sylvia shares her journey from experiencing thirteen moves before age five to becoming an expert in adaptability intelligence and the Flux Mindset.
Sylvia challenges the traditional approach of designing better change plans and focusing on managing resistance. Instead, she argues that everyone's new job is learning, yet companies still resist investing in building people's capacity to adapt. The most successful changes happen when teams develop stronger adaptability muscles before the change hits. She introduces the Flux Mindset, which reframes our relationship to change as opportunity rather than chaos, and Adaptability Intelligence (AQ), a measurement framework that helps organizations understand and strengthen their capacity for change.
