revolutionary for Change• We need to support Team development and reward

their Work• Organizations need Centralized Coordination and

Characteristics of Polarity Management

• Not problems to solve• Both/And not Either/Or• Polarities are meant to be managed by

leaders who understand the difference between problems to solve and polarities to manage

“Best of both while avoiding the limits of either”

• People follow through on their tasks

• New relationships have been formed that cross boundaries of race, ethnicity, age, position, etc.

• New alliances and partnerships are evident

• The data shows improvement and people believe the data

• People can describe the shared vision

• It feels good!

same problem we had last year.”
