Great leaders embrace paradox. Today, one of my clients embraced asking more curious questions, giving more definitive answers, all while not overwhelming his team with his complex thinking. My coaching brought clarity and confusion. A year ago he would have responded with some kinda angry statement about me talking out of both sides of my mouth.
Today, after thinking about it awhile, he responded simply – “I get it.”
My client is embracing paradox. He is building wisdom. Wisdom cannot be built without embracing paradox, studying your tendencies, and widening your perspective with the help of others. Nobody get’s it alone. Together we improve. Who is helping you, my friend. Who? Remember, the best builder for you will NOT be the one like you. Find one like minded and with a fresh, unique perspective. See the paradox?
Embrace it…
