Expand What’s Possible in Work, Relationships, and Life With Both/And Thinking
How do you do two seemingly opposite things at once? How can you be candid and diplomatic, provide structure and flexibility, keep things stable and lead change, and focus on organizational interests while simultaneously doing what’s best for employees? Many approach these polarities with either/or thinking, but leaders, teams, and organizations that navigate them using a both/and mindset significantly outperform those who don’t. The trick is knowing how.
In their work with thousands of people across the globe, Brian Emerson and Kelly Lewis have seen the tension and stress polarities can create in relationships, teams, and organizations. In this book, they share the practical tools to transform that tension into a positive driving force by expanding either/or thinking to include a both/and mindset.
“Learning how to navigate polarities is a key skill when dealing with complexity. Emerson and Lewis have written a nuanced and approachable book that will leave you not only wiser, but more useful whether you’re leading a team, a project, an organization, or a family. I only wish a copy were offered to all leaders!”
“I would consider this required reading for anyone leading organizations in our complex world.”
