Polarity Management skills will make you a more effective leader and manager.

Polarity Management skills will make you a more effective leader and manager by:

1) Increasing your ability to distinguish between problems you can solve and those you cannot.

2) Increasing your ability to manage those unsolvable problems, which I call workplace dilemmas or polarities.

You will be more effective because:

1) You will save time and energy by not trying to solve unsolvable difficulties.

2) You will better understand resistance to organisational changes you want to make.

3) You will be more effective in negotiating with those opposing your changes.

4) You will more effectively negotiate with those proposing changes you do not want.

5) You will be more effective as a third-party mediator. This is especially true in conflicts where two groups are stuck in a polarity and treat the polarity as if it is a problem to solve.

6) You will be able to anticipate and minimize problems that occur when workplace dilemmas, or polarities, are not managed well.
