readings by Heifetz and t’Hart & Tummers

Drawing explicitly on the readings by Heifetz  and t’Hart & Tummers, please write 200-300 words discussing the following questions:

Facing an adaptive situation, do you think the best leader is the one that projects confidence that he or she already has the answers or the one that more humbly directs the right questions to the right people at the right time and takes their advice to heart ?

In adaptive situations, is it best for a leader to seek to shield followers from distressing information and “painful” adjustments or share these with the team/organization/citizenry in a carefully calibrated way?
