## Description

Polarity Management: Identifying and Managing Unsolvable Problems [Johnson Ph.D., Barry] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Polarity Management: Identifying and Managing Unsolvable Problems

Review: Takes leadership development to a new level - I have long been familiar with the difference between 'both/and' vs, 'either/or' thinking and its application to leadership development. This book takes an In depth look at how to more fully understand how this plays out in all sorts of ways in life, career, relationships...you name it. My coaching clients are learning to question their assumptions and realizing they have more options than they thought. In today's VUCA world (see Kevin Cashman's Pause Principle), the ability to explore polarities and the cycle we can get wrapped up into is a huge advantage. Easy to understand with great examples. Really don't even need a coach to gain the benefits.
Review: It's Not Either/Or; It's Both/And - Barry Johnson's book heightens the readers' awareness of polarities that play themselves out in our everyday lives. If one can accept the notion that there are many unsolvable problems, the reader can take solace in becoming engaged with the author's thorough explanation of how to identify and manage these polarities. By doing so, the vignettes described are energizing and provide teachable moments. Some of the lessons of the book are: We are taught to look at both the upside and downside of polarities. We see and feel what Johnson calls the `tradition bearing' and `crusading' patterns of behavior. We see and feel that by considering at all sides of a situation, we can participate in a healthy dance between them. We rush `to be right' rather than becoming `accurate and complete.' While some of the concepts are at first difficult to grasp, paradoxically, by following the principles of polarity management itself, the lessons learned can be very powerful and worth the journey.
