The Power of Paradox: Harness the Energy of Competing Ideas to Uncover Radically Innovative Solutions

For thinkers navigating tension into innovation

This is a smart pick if you like business books that challenge either-or thinking and make complexity feel useful instead of overwhelming. Deborah Schroeder-Saulnier shows how opposing ideas can actually work together, which gives the book a practical, refreshing edge. It feels especially valuable for leaders, strategists, or anyone trying to solve stubborn problems without forcing simplistic answers.

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.

Description

We're so often faced with apparent continuity and change, conservatism and progressiveness, predictability and chaos. In business, inherent tensions are mistakenly viewed as problems to be resolved once the "correct" answer is found. But when we consider only one direction—either A or B—we only see part of the picture. The strongest and most innovative solutions are often realized not through either/or decision-making, but by pursuing two contrasting options at the same time. Taking readers through the steps she has used to help Fortune 500 companies such as Scottrade, Georgia-Pacific, and Boeing, Deborah Schroeder-Saulnier reveals a dynamic critical-thinking process anyone can use to define the strategic tensions within their organization, identify the potential of seemingly conflicting options, and develop action steps to maximize the benefits of each. Complete with examples of companies that achieved a competitive advantage with this breakthrough strategy, The Power of Paradox will help you face chronic challenges with confidence and uncover unexpected and infinitely better solutions.
