Great leadership lives in tension. Between clarity and compassion. Between action and collaboration.
When we over-rely on a single strength, it turns toxic. Paradox-aware leaders develop the skill to hold opposing virtues—like confidence and openness—together.
Every strength has a shadow. Paradox-awareness reveals the light.
When leaders explore paradox together, they build trust, agility, and a shared language for growth.
