    Disruptive change is an unavoidable circumstance for leaders that can strengthen organizational culture but also lead to breakdown if not properly managed. It contributes to leadership development by requiring adaptation of new skills. Crisis enhances understanding of leadership as a continuous cycle of innovations that generates new paradigms in response to change or revolution. Relevant changes in leadership practices are driven by disruptive changes, which initiate experiential learning and require effective leadership to introduce and sustain change, with flexibility in strategies to orchestrate conflict and control the pace of change.

    PASP Reflection 2: Leadership and Disruptive Change

    Personal Perspective
    How does crisis/disruption contribute to your understanding/assessment of yourself as a leader.
    Disruptive Change is an unavoidable circumstance in a leader’s journey. Adaptation to
    major transformation are innovative tools to develop one’s leadership skills. As Heifetz and
    Linsky’s (2017) enumerates in their four ideas to enact change, a leader must first, create a
    holding environment for the work; second, control the temperature; third, set the pace; and
    fourth, show them the future. (Heifetz & Linsky, 2017) Such ideology could either strengthen the
    organizational culture yet it could also lead to the breakdown of the group due to risk factors. As
    the description entails, it is “disruptive” but it also opens into another reality of growth and
    development to adapt to the new demands of the times.
    I being a youth leader experienced disruptive changes less on organizational structures
    but more on membership deviations and circumstances. Hence, I affirm that “with a positive
    mindset and willingness to adapt, any leader can turn disruptive change into an opportunity for
    growth and success. (Walk Me Team, 2023)” Though disruptive change is troublesome, in a
    way, it leads me, as a youth leader, to further my leadership skills to initiate a paradigm shift to
    the group/organization.
    As experienced, the youth doesn’t focus much on the concept of disruptive change but
    they pay attention more on the technique on which the leader executes the paradigm
    shift/change.

    Academic Perspective
    How does crisis/disruption enhance the general or specific understanding/perception of
    leadership?
    Disruptive change is parallel with Thomas Kuhn’s Paradigm Shift, “Science does not
    progress in a linear and consistent fashion via an accumulation of knowledge, but proceeds
    within a scientific paradigm – a set of fundamental theoretical assumptions that guides the
    direction of inquiry, determines the standard of truth and defines a scientific discipline at any
    particular period of time.” (Bird, 2018) (Oxford University Press , 2019) Analogous with
    scientific revolution, Leadership is a cycle which when intercepted with disruptive change or
    revolution generates a new paradigm until it creates a new culture of understanding.
    The concept of disruptive change relative to leadership highlights how leadership became
    a continuous cycle of innovations. Leadership would be a safe undertaking if your organizations
    and communities only faced problems for which they already knew the solutions. (Heifetz &
    Linsky, 2017) Leadership revolutions, or “danger” as specified by the authors, triggers adaptive
    change to stimulates resistance because it challenges people’s habits, beliefs, and values. Since
    these dangers penetrates a cycle, resistance would be the first reaction for it goes against the
    flow. Hence it follows the complex skills which a leader must possess, the adaptability to
    penetrate a paradigm shift to the group culture. Leadership, then, requires not only reverence for
    the pains of change and recognition of the manifestations of danger, but also the skill to respond.
    (Heifetz & Linsky, 2017)
    System Perspective
    How does crisis/disruption contribute to relevant changes in leadership practices?
    Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher, has been quoted as saying “change is the only constant
    in life.” Indeed, change is inevitable and is part of the life experience. (Domaleski, 2023) Thus,
    the change’s inevitability to life is directly equivalent to leadership practices. Disruptive changes
    are vital factors on the relevant development of leadership practices. For, these challenges
    initiate experiential leadership skill. It includes in particular that change must be well managed,
    as it also requires effective leadership to be successfully introduced and sustained. (Gill, 2002)
    The leadership cycle is empowered when disruptive changes are overcome by the group.
    Its systematic implications are centered on the flexibility of the leader to orchestrate change. The
    leadership strategies imposed by Heifetz and Linsky’s (2017) suggests to build structures of
    relationships to work the tough issues, establishing norms that make passionate disagreement
    permissible but keeping the hands on the temperature controls. Hence, not provoking people too
    much at any one time for the goal is to orchestrate the conflict, not become it. (Heifetz & Linsky,
    2017)
