Every species must adapt or face extinction. While adaptation allows survival, it does not remove the original fear or trigger that caused the adaptation. Adaptation only minimizes risk, not overcomes the threat. For example, prey adapting to run faster only escapes the predator, not overcomes predation. Similarly in organizations, bosses expect subordinates to adapt but do not adapt themselves. Subordinates acquire new skills but bosses do not update, causing conflicts over time. When organizations do not provide opportunities to use new skills, adapted employees rightly leave to find opportunities elsewhere. For long term success, both employees and organizations must adapt together, not separately.
