‘A powerful playbook to lead and master change.’ Dominic Price, Atlassian
After the global pause in 2020, we returned to a world that feels faster, looser, and less structured – our professional boundaries have been erased, social and cultural norms are shifting rapidly, and at the same time, we're facing profound developments in artificial intelligence. We're facing more change more often, yet we're applying a mindset that is outdated and no longer fit-for-purpose.
Adapt offers a fresh perspective. Andrea Clarke, the award-winning author of Future Fit, argues that rather than retreat from change or resist it, we must engage with it continuously and learn how to anticipate and shape it. This book will teach you practical tools, including how to scan for signals of change to minimise disruption, apply the good advice test to make better decisions, use the 80/20 rule to explore unseen opportunities, and protect your health with the energy curve.
Whether you’re striving to be a better leader, or seeking more control over your life, Adapt will equip you with a new way to master change in an unpredictable world. This book reframes change as a powerful tool for growth, opportunity and meaningful progress.

‘Andrea Clarke has given us such a gift with this book. She shows us how to turn vulnerability into a strength, adversity into resilience and the rapidly changing challenges of a modern work world into opportunities to seize. And she does so with an engaging, hilarious and crisp, to-the-point writing style that makes you feel like you are chatting with her over coffee.
