Episode 125: Applications of Polarity Thinking™ by Diverse Leaders with Dr. Barry Johnson

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Barry Johnson, about the book AND: Making a Difference by Leveraging Polarity, Paradox or Dilemma, Volume Two: Applications.

“AND” is for people who want to make a positive difference by overcoming obstacles such as resistance to change and polarization.

Barry shares, Volume 2 is a representation of the expansive application of Polarity ThinkingTM from different perspectives and experiences of people skilled in leveraging polarities.

In this book, different authors come from a variety of disciplines such as coaches, teachers, and consultants who share their personal stories and knowledge on how they applied Polarity Thinking™ in their work and communities.

We discuss the two chapters we co-authored that include a variety of examples of common polarities in healthcare organizations and how they are frequently presented.
