Formerly a clinical instructor in psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, Heifetz works with leaders in government, nonprofits, and business.[3] His work on adaptive leadership has garnered attention in educational fields.[4][5] Named "case-in-point" (CIP) teaching, this method focuses on implementing aspects of Heifetz's work within the class itself. CIP has four main distinctions: 1) authority does not equal leadership, 2) understanding the difference between technical and adaptive challenges, 3) Power (of the individual) vs. progress, and 4) Personality (of the individual) vs. presence (skills & practice).[5]
