Polarity Management: Identifying and Managing Unsolvable Problems

Effective leadership through embracing unsolvable dilemmas.

If leadership challenges keep you up at night, Barry Johnson's "Polarity Management" could be your next great read. It nudges you away from the often fruitless quest for permanent solutions, guiding instead toward the fruitful management of ongoing, unsolvable problems. This book is a flashlight in the fog of complexity, illuminating a path forward for leaders who are willing to see beyond traditional problem-solving. Johnson's exercises and case studies are the practical tools that will help you apply this fresh perspective directly to the nuanced challenges you face.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Some complex problems simply do not have "solutions." The key to being an effective leader is being able to recognize and manage such problems.

Also included are exercises to strengthen your skills, and case studies to help you begin applying the model to your own unsolvable problems.
