In this episode of In Search of Wisdom, my guest is Ivo Brughmans, the author of Paradoxical Leadership: How to Make Complexity and Advantage. Ivo is a philosopher, political scientist, and management consultant. He is fascinated by paradoxes and the challenge of bringing together opposite approaches and opening new perspectives that combine the power of both sides. 

In the conversation, Ivo and I discuss,

  • The meaning of paradoxes
  • Either/or thinking 
  • The History of Paradoxes
  • The fundamentals of both/and thinking
  • What it means to be paradoxically competent and much more
  • I’m excited to share this conversation — Ivo is one of the world’s leading experts in paradoxical thinking, and you can learn more about his work and the book at paradoxical-leadership.com.
