Because we’ve been conditioned by academia, societal conditioning and business, many people are unnecessarily limiting their options and outlooks with “either/or” thinking. Not every issue in the workplace lends itself to a singular right or wrong answer.
“One of the most telling signs of maturity is the ability to hold yet greater and greater paradoxes in tension without having the need to resolve the tension by embracing one side of the other.” ~Carl Jung
Imagine the extraordinary results an organization could achieve if their leadership team was capable of driving results and building meaningful employee connections, of practicing tough empathy and being a resourceful maverick, of embracing innovation and learning from failure, of fostering competition and collaboration, and of rewarding character and competency.
In this comfort zone blasting workshop, Jane uses concepts from Dr. Barry Johnson’s polarity thinking and research on paradoxical leadership to assist participants to:
- Learn how to embrace both/and thinking to build a culture of respectful irreverence, unrelenting empathy, and unparalleled performance
- Gain skills to more effectively manage the seemingly irreconcilable trade-offs of today’s business environment.
- Learn how to maximize leadership strengths, gain awareness of blind spots, and promote the power of enabling performance that will transform organizations
For leadership conferences, retreats and career development events. Delivered as a half or full-day workshop.
