In a world that often demands decisive choices and clear answers, many leaders and professionals find themselves trapped by either/or thinking, struggling with complex dilemmas that resist simple solutions. "Both/And Thinking - Embracing Creative Tensions to Solve Your Toughest Problems" by Wendy Smith and Marianne Lewis challenges the prevailing notion that effective decision-making requires choosing one side at the expense of the other. Instead, the authors present a compelling case for embracing paradoxes and managing the tensions between competing demands, arguing that this approach unlocks new avenues for innovation, resilience, and sustainable success across organizations and individual careers.
