Abstract

This mixed methods research is focused on commonalities between the practice of academic advising and the concepts of adaptive leadership. The data provide supervisor and advisor perspectives on hiring practices, leadership, and views on how adaptability relates to advising and leadership. As a result of data analysis, the Theory of Adaptive Advising is proposed that incorporates elements of adaptive leadership into the advising practice. Keywords: professional advisor, adaptive advising, adaptive leadership, student centered approach, advising models
