A chapter in Leadership Studies in the Turbulent Business Ecosystem from IntechOpen

Abstract: This paper explores the intricate relationship between ambidextrous leadership, agility, and innovation within the organizational context. Ambidextrous leadership involves the delicate balance of exploiting existing capabilities for efficiency while simultaneously exploring new avenues for innovation. Agility represents an organization's capacity to adapt swiftly to dynamic environments, while innovation denotes the creation and implementation of novel ideas. This paper investigates how these three principles are interconnected and mutually reinforcing. Ambidextrous leadership serves as a foundational framework, fostering a culture that encourages agility and providing the necessary support for innovation. Agility, in turn, enables organizations to respond promptly to changing circumstances, creating an environment conducive to continuous innovation. The symbiotic relationship between these elements is crucial for organizational resilience, competitiveness, and long-term success in an ever-evolving business landscape. Understanding and leveraging the interplay between ambidextrous leadership, agility, and innovation can guide leaders in crafting strategies that promote adaptability, creativity, and sustainable growth.
