Embrace paradoxical thinking for leadership success
In the new digital era of VUCA (“Velocity”, “Uncertainty”, “Complexity” and “Ambiguity”), leaders need to adopt new lenses and learn a new way of leading paradoxically with strategic agility. Today’s leaders need to display an ease and comfort when dealing with tensions (paradoxes) and to face head- on their anxiety and defensiveness that result from tension in order to achieve success and sustainability. Managing paradoxes creates innovation, new insights and creative opportunities for businesses in the realities of a global landscape.
