Your brain is more powerful than any gadget. Just turn it back on.

 Leaders today face interconnected, dynamic challenges that require more than simple, either-or decisions that seldom last in the long run and often create new problems. Instead of avoiding or attempting to “solve” the tension between competing ideas or forces, both-and thinking embraces and manages that tension, turning it into a source of creativity, collaboration, and growth. Leveraging both-and thinking as a powerful tool for navigating complexity and driving innovation underpins all the work we do, because it is not just useful – it is necessary for success. 

Regarding leadership, the words of American entrepreneur, author, and motivational speaker Jim Rohn have long resonated for us -- even when taking liberty to replace his word "but" for "and" (a simple yet powerful technique in many instances). Read this concise capturing of some of the dichotomies of leadership.

Questions – when asked with genuine curiosity – serve as a powerful catalyst to unlocking new ideas, sparking creativity, and driving innovation. When leaders ask the right questions, they not only inspire their teams but also gain deeper insights into others’ perspectives. Asking questions and listening with interest and openness demonstrate humility, creating a culture in which everyone feels heard and valued. In short, questions encourage growth, build better connections, and drive positive change. 

Concise considerations of concepts. Featuring leadership-related themes – all starting with the letter “C” – this resource provides relatively short, easy-to-read moments of insight and reflection (all with the option to listen to an audio version if you prefer).
