Hey, there. AmyK here.
As you well know, today’s leaders face dilemmas that defy simple answers.
Which is why embracing paradoxical thinking—holding two opposing ideas at once—has become essential for effective leadership.
First, paradoxical thinking strengthens your resilience.
When you can see multiple sides of a problem you’re more likely to stay calm under pressure, guiding your teams through uncertainty.
Second, it fuels innovation.
When you entertain conflicting ideas, you uncover creative solutions that would otherwise be overlooked.
Lastly, paradoxical thinking fosters integration.
By weighing different perspectives, you’ll make decisions that honor both short-term wins and long-term vision, profit and purpose, stability, and change.
Watch this short video on how this type of thinking will serve you and your team well.
In a world where extremes often pull us apart, truly brilliant Leaders use paradoxical thinking to bridge divides, adapt to shifting demands, and inspire their teams to thrive in ambiguity.
It’s not just a skill …
… it’s the leadership we need now.
Hugs,
AmyK
