015. Managing Paradox

Subtitle: Understanding paradox, balance and managing opposites

About This Course: This course is called "Managing Paradox". It will show you how managing paradox is central to management in times of change.

Who Will Benefit?: This course will be valuable to anyone who needs to manage opposing and contradictory demands at work.

Structure of this Course: This course is built around the idea that managing change means managing opposites. Examples of opposites include Change and Stability, Success and Failure, and Control and Freedom.

Overview: Stable organisations are run with sets of rules and procedures. There is an explicit emphasis on imposed discipline, on controlling individuals, on conforming. The guiding principles are choices made by management on how best to run the business. In change-responsive organisations, being sure about the best way to operate is no longer possible. It is more important to acknowledge the existence of opposite and equally valid demands and to find ways to manage them. This is the art of managing paradox.
