Leadership often feels like an either/or choice: action or reflection, stability or change. But when we balance these polarities, we can recognize better decisions that lead to stronger impact. #navigatingpolarities #bothandleadership #leadershipdevelopment

The best leaders learn to shift from managing a team to shaping the entire system. Those who make the biggest impact step back, challenge assumptions, and bring the right voices into the conversation. They see both the big picture and take into account the important details.     How are you shaping the systems you lead? #navigatingpolarities #andiron #bothandleadership #leadershipdevelopment

Still energized from an incredible two weeks in Denver, where Dionne Galloway worked with global leaders to tackle complex challenges and design strategies for lasting impact. Through the Key Polarity Indicator assessment and Polarity Navigator, these leaders gained new insights—about themselves, their teams, and their organizations—while developing Both/And approaches to lead with greater influence and clarity. Grateful to Margo Street and The Nebo Company for the opportunity to collaborate and to Daryl Yankee for capturing the moments that brought these sessions to life.

In times of uncertainty, it’s natural to feel pulled in every direction. But we know that the best leaders don’t view challenges as either/or choices—they see them as invitations to embrace both sides. As Marianne Lewis, Dean at the Lindner College of Business, reminds us, it’s not the tension itself that’s daunting, but how we choose to engage with it. When we shift from an Either/Or mindset to a Both/And approach, we unlock a world of new possibilities—balancing immediate needs with a bold, long-term vision. That’s exactly what our Key Polarity Indicator and Polarity Navigator tools are built to do. They help us understand our preferences more deeply, recognize where overuses are occurring, and ultimately help us create a clear path to bringing them back into balance. What tensions are you navigating right now? How do you hold both sides without getting stuck?

The Key Polarity Indicator has been a transformative tool for Pablo Bernal Ribas in his work as a coach supporting global religious leaders. He shared:     “We really like the tool because of that [capacity of transformation], and people usually come and say and usually are very grateful. Because it kind of confirms some...tendencies. At the same time, I feel really invited to expand...not to get stuck or to get judged.” The KPI provides self-awareness without judgment. It reveals patterns, invites reflection, and encourages a Both/And perspective on life. Pablo has used it to help leaders navigate complex environments with clarity and balance, leveraging the observant perspective the KPI offers.
