Welcome to the KAI Podcast series - helping you to build better teams and great leaders.

KAI, the Kirton Adaption Innovation Inventory, is the world's foremost measure for problem solving style. It is used widely to create cohesive and productive teams and effective leaders. It's been in use for over 40 years and is supported by a large body of academic research from around the world. In these podcasts, we aim to shine a light on the issues and problems facing all teams as they strive to be the best version of themselves.

In today's episode, we're going to explore the issue of managing change through challenging times, and how business leaders can ensure they bring their people with them, and don't lose them along the way.
