The ability to face the tension of opposing ideas

“The ability to face the tension of opposing ideas and…

instead of choosing one at the expense of the other, generate a creative resolution…

in the form of a new idea that contains elements of the opposing ideas but is superior to each.” (Roger Martin)

That’s the hard work of strategy.

It takes a systemic approach to thinking if you’re going to get there.

It takes a commitment to keeping your mind open to a better way.

It is not letting false binaries dominate the discussion.

Strategy is about a mindset

And that mindset can be learned.

When is the last time you thought about the way you think?
