In this episode Wendy and I talk about the concept of paradox and its relevance to organizational dynamics and personal decision-making. We talk about the importance of recognizing that beliefs and values are shaped by historical context and influence our perception of the world. They emphasize the need to focus on what is right and find transformative moments to navigate the future differently. We
discuss the importance of addressing significant issues through dialogue and understanding rather than perpetuating polarization. They advocate for a "both-and" approach that respects and listens to different perspectives. The concept of paradox is recognized and accepted in academic and professional circles, with more people using it to describe complex challenges. Embracing paradox has led to positive outcomes, such as opening up new strategic possibilities and fostering productive conversations.
