About this book

A USA TODAY, LA TIMES, AND INDEPENDENT PRESS BESTSELLER Groundbreaking investor and global enterprise builder Alec Litowitz shows how to move from “making the right decision” to “making decisions right” in The Adaptability Quotient, a guide to thinking and acting under uncertainty. Over decades of success across volatile markets, creating cultures and businesses that innovate at scale and endure, Litowitz arrived at a crucial insight. What separates progress from paralysis is not foresight, but adaptability. In an era of uncertainty, decision-making and problem-solving require developing a high adaptability quotient or AQ—the ability to think clearly, act decisively, and pivot when the path ahead isn’t clear. And unlike intellect or emotional intelligence, AQ is not fixed. It can be learned. In The Adaptability Quotient, Litowitz offers a three-part system that trains readers in: Metacognition – How to interrogate your assumptions and decision process Simulation – How to absorb information and model complex systems effectively Experimentation – How to make decisions that maximize learning and minimize downside Drawing from his experience—as well as insights from business, technology, psychology, and cognitive science—Litowitz shows how successful people and organizations move forward when navigating change. For readers of The Scout Mindset, Thinking in Systems, and Thinking, Fast and Slow, The Adaptability Quotient shifts the focus from understanding how we think to improving how we act. As artificial intelligence, media, and scientific advances reshape the cognitive landscape, adaptability becomes the essential discipline for reclaiming human agency. For leaders and decision-makers who want more than theory in a world where the old playbooks no longer apply, Alec Litowitz shares an actionable framework for raising and realizing your adaptability quotient.
