In Adaptive Leadership (AL), the idea is to create an intervention that creates a sustainable level of disruption, a common organizing practice. The model explains an intervention as sustainable because it is taking place in a zone between the upper and lower thresholds of tension. We modify this framework to reflect a class analysis. so that the lower threshold represents the limits of comfort of one class, and the upper threshold reflects the limits of comfort of an opposing class. Interventions with which professional classes are generally comfortable, we would describe as “reformist reforms” or interventions that strengthen the logic and practices of the capital classes. If the level of disruption stays higher than what an opposing class with much more power is willing to withstand, they will move to shut it down, which can play out in a variety of ways, but in the context of this employment is not an outcome we recommend. Ultimately, the aspiration is for this work to have both a practical and pedagogical value and to challenge and disrupt what we see as the anti-socialist nature of the nonprofit sector such that socialist options outside of the sector are more likely to be considered.
