Work Like a Human

#1: Why & How to Practice Both-And Thinking, with Kelly Lewis


Listen Later

Humans are good at either-or thinking: chocolate or vanilla? Republican or Democrat? Cubs or White Sox?

But what if we asked you to choose between grace and mercy? Collaboration and autonomy? Individual freedom and collective responsibility? That's harder--because those pairs aren't problems to be solved. They're polarities to be navigated.

In the inaugural episode of Work Like A Human, author, consultant, and researcher Kelly Lewis introduces a framework to understand and thrive through polarities: pairs of seeming opposites that need each other for success over time. This kind of both/and thinking helps us be more human in a complex world, where either-or thinking just doesn't cut it. This is extremely apparent right now in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic--and host Rory Tyer works with Kelly in this episode to build and navigate a polarity that's particularly powerful for our present moment.
