Sometimes leaders think they have a problem. Really, they’re faced with a polarity: an ongoing dilemma that feels unsolvable. How can leaders identify and handle workplace polarities?
Effective leadership isn’t just about choosing a single strategy and sticking with it no matter what. Leaders need to balance different priorities and manage polarities. If you focus too much on one thing, you might miss out on the bigger picture.
Take the classic dilemma: Should we focus on growth or efficiency? The answer isn’t one or the other — it’s both.
This is what we call leadership polarities. It’s a paradox, a conundrum, a contradiction — an ongoing, unsolvable dilemma with seemingly opposing ideas.
Great managers can see and handle these polarities. They recognize both perspectives and navigate the shifting dynamics. Complex issues are rarely either/or, and you don’t have to choose sides.
This shift to both/and thinking can be tough, but it’s essential because not everything is just a problem to solve. It’s about managing polarities.
Equip your leaders with the skills to tackle the both/and complexities of today’s world. This training prepares them to recognize and lead through these challenges, driving your organization forward.
