He works out the fundamental principles of a paradoxical perspective and explains how to apply them to yourself as a person and a professional, how to integrate them into your leadership style, how to implement them in your team and organization, and how to conduct an effective dialogue on polarizing issues. Developing this paradoxical perspective, the book sheds a refreshingly new light on a wide range of fundamental organizational and management challenges, such as strategy development, business design, corporate governance, performance management, change, agility, innovation, diversity, culture transformation, leadership, and talent.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDemonstrating how to manage contradictions, tensions, and dilemmas in a productive and inclusive way, \u003ci\u003eParadoxical Leadership \u003c\/i\u003eprovides the skills, frameworks, and tools necessary to integrate both\/and thinking into your working and leadership style. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart I: In the Lab\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
