Presenting the toolkit to leadership should come with information on what the organization’s issues were, based on data collected from stakeholders that work directly with leadership. Obtaining feedback from these stakeholders in the form of an anonymous survey would be an ideal start. From that data, trends can be identified and a strategy on how best to tackle issues that may be effecting day to day workflow. 
Once a strategy has been implemented, a timeline can be established in order to be able to know if the strategy is working or if it needs to be adjusted in any way. From there a soft launch could be an option based on the timeline. Any outliers or issues would be able to be taken care of. Presenting this to leadership in a simple PowerPoint project at a strategy meeting is an effective way to roll out this plan. 
The best way to assure this is sustainable long-term would be following up with staff and other stake holders via meetings and possibly another survey, and well as an analysis to identify trends within the time the strategic plan was rolled out. Sometimes it takes a moment to iron out all the wrinkled in a plan but effective communication is vital in the success of this.

 To properly communicate the adaptive leadership toolkit, there should be a meeting with each team indivually. In this meeting, I will go over each section and the importance of each section of the toolkit. I would add things such as some of the survey results to show why this is important to follow. At the end, I would open up the floor for questions that I can address or concerns. It is important that everyone is on the same page and that is why these meetings are crucial. If the company would like to continue this communication strategy, monthly meeting should be held with the whole company addressing any new concerns. It is also important at these montly meetings to summarize the toolkit once again as you want to make sure everyone still understands the importance of it. Lastly, any new employees should be in a meeting together addressing the toolkit to ensure they are also aware and can address any questions or concerns they may have. Communication is key in a company and if the meetings are held and consistent, the company will be successful in following the toolkit.
