Quick Advice on Balancing Paradoxes
Most of us are aware that sometimes we face opposite choices, but in managing our life and leadership situations, we must learn to courageously adapt in more important issues and situations.
As a leader or teammate (or spouse, parent, or neighbor), we must be committed to adapt our natural talents and personality tendencies, because there are many situations in which the choice we should make is somewhat opposite of our talents or natural response. Here are three very basic steps that can help you live and operate successfully in a life of paradox ���
Be situationally aware of paradoxes. They���re not going away. It���s reality. You are going to have to walk both sides of the street to recognize, understand, and deal with the paradoxes that leaders face.Review the paradox list and reflect on it. Consider situations in your world that you may need to view from a different perspective. Think of it as the old TV option of ���Picture in Picture.��� You focus on one and then you switch to focus on the other; for example, focus on the team and then one of the individuals on the team.Coach yourself to adapt appropriately. When you take time to reflect, you are much more likely to consider your responsibilities and the talents of your people. Their insights and abilities can help you adapt successfully. Be confident and humble to get their input and know that in many situations their insights and actions are going to help you shine in the light of paradox and walk both sides of the street.
Bottom line���let���s all try to become our head (and heart) coach by learning to live more effectively in the many paradoxes of life and leadership. It will be a tremendous investment that brings a never-ending payoff.
