#85: How ‘Both/And’ Thinking Can Transform Leadership & Make a Positive Difference

We are thrilled to provide this Encore episode of our interview with our dear friend and mentor  Dr. Barry Johnson.  Barry is the author of AND:  Making a Difference by Leveraging Polarity, Paradox, or Dilemma.  Volume One: Foundations.  AND is for people interested in making a positive difference in the world or in any part of their life as a citizen, a family member, or an individual within an organization.   Volume One of AND covers the application of fundamental polarities from different system perspectives and how different polarities show up in the brain.  Barry suggests learning about polarities is easiest when you work from the smallest system up.  So, beginning with polarities that have meaning for you as an individual enables you to see quickly how the same polarity is applicable across other levels of the system.  During our interview with Barry, we explore how Both/And thinking overcomes resistance to change and polarization and is an essential step in making a difference. We also discuss how misdiagnosing polarities as problems and how leaders pay a price twice when this occurs. You probably already realize, if you want to make a difference in the world understanding polarities is essential and this book is a must read!   Go ahead and listen to this thought- provoking interview now!  For full show notes and links, visit: https://www.missinglogic.com/new-podcast To get our FREE perspective paper, TheThree Biggest Mistakes Healthcare Leaders Make When Trying to Achieve Work Life Balance  Click Here now! We would love to have you contribute to this podcast by submitting a question that we can feature in a future episode.  All you must do is email your question to  [email protected]   If you found value in this episode, please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!In this podcast, business leaders navigate the challenges of high-pressure jobs, tackling burnout, micromanagement, and decision fatigue while honing emotional intelligence, communication skills, and problem-solving abilities to strengthen their leadership identity.
