Download or read book Navigating Polarities Using Both And Thinking to Lead Transformation written by Brian Emerson and published by Paradoxical Press. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you do two seemingly opposite things at once? How can you be candid and diplomatic, provide structure and flexibility, keep things stable and lead change, and focus on organizational interests while simultaneously doing what's best for employees? Many approach these polarities with either/or thinking, but leaders, teams, and organizations that navigate them using a both/and mindset significantly outperform those who don't. The trick is knowing how. In their work with thousands of people across the globe, Brian Emerson and Kelly Lewis have seen the tension and stress polarities can create in relationships, teams, and in organizations. In this book, they share the practical tools to transform that tension into a positive driving force by expanding either/or thinking to include a both/and mindset.

Download or read book Unleashing the Positive Power of Differences written by Jane A. G. Kise and published by Corwin Press. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All too often, key education initiatives collapse because leaders fail to anticipate and learn from the concerns of those charged with implementation. This illuminating book shows how education leaders can bring opposing groups to common ground, resulting in a solid plan built on diverse wisdom. Acclaimed education coach Jane Kise demonstrates how polarity thinking-a powerful tool for bridging differences developed by Barry Johnson of Polarity Partnerships-provides an alternative to endless debates and either/or thinking. Rather than seeing conflicting forces, the tools help us view them as equally important-even interdependent-concepts, approaches, or models. Readers will find: Ways to recognize polarities, map the positive and negative aspects, and channel energy wasted on disagreement toward a greater common purpose Tools for introducing and working with polarities Polarity mapping to help leaders improve processes for leading change and creating buy-in Ways to use polarity with students as a framework for higher-level thinking

Book excerpt: AND is a resource for people who want to make a positive difference. By overcoming two obstacles: resistance to change and polarization. From a problem-solving perspective, either of these challenges could be overwhelming. Regardless of the size of the system that you want to change, this book guides you through a clear process: 1.Seeing: Is this an issue where And is required 2.Mapping: How can I see a more complete picture and respect alternative views? 3.Assessing: How are we doing with this polarity? 4.Learning: What can we learn from our assessment results? 5.Leveraging: What action steps will we take to make a positive difference? Reading this book will help you address resistance to your efforts to make a difference. Also, it will help you address chronic conflicts that become vicious cycles as both sides become more polarized.You will learn when and how to bring And into your efforts to make a positive difference. When done well, supplementing Or-thinking with And-thinking will help you convert the wisdom of those resisting change into a resource to support a more effective change. And-thinking will help you join polarized groups and convert a vicious cycle into a benefit for all. The results will benefit both groups and the larger system of which they are a part.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polarity Intelligence helps leaders overcome conflict, diverse perspectives, and persistent problems which is central to their success in all areas of life. After decades as trusted workplace leaders and organizational coaches, Dr. Tracy Christopherson and Michelle Troseth believe that the missing logic in leadership is a skill called Polarity Intelligence. Polarity Intelligence allows individuals to look at the world through a both/and lens to identify polarities that need to be leveraged, rather than only using an either/or lens and seeing all challenges as problems to be solved. By applying these insights, polarity intelligent leaders will be able to uncover the deeply held beliefs, values, and biases that are inhibiting their own, their team, and their organization’s growth, speeding up organizational change and creating long-term success.
Download or read book Polarity in International Relations written by Nina Græger and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-30 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together a group of leading scholars on international relations to develop and apply the concept of polarity on past and present international relations and discuss its applicability and usefulness in the future. Despite a comprehensive debate on a global power shift, often discussed in terms of the decline of the United States, the crisis in the liberal international order, and the rise of China, IR ́s main concept of power, ‘polarity’, remains undertheorized and understudied. The great powers and their importance for dynamics and processes in the international system are central to current debates on international order, but these debates too often suffer from a combination of politicized empirical analysis and reliance on old theoretical debates and conceptualizations, typically originating in the Cold War security environment. In order to meet these challenges, this book updates, conceptualizes, applies and critically debates the concepts of unipolarity, bipolarity, multipolarity and non-polarity in order to understand the current world order.

Download or read book Polarity Dependent Removal Interferences in Sink EDM of Titanium Alloys written by Maximilian Holsten and published by Apprimus Wissenschaftsverlag. This book was released on 2018-12-31 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the design of turbomachinery components, a significant effort is carried out regarding the optimization of efficiency. The increase in thermal efficiency particularly involves the introduction of high-performance alloys. Such alloys are for example titanium alloys. Sink electrical discharge machining (sink EDM) is a crucial manufacturing process for components due to its independence of machined material strengths; however, new materials require process design. Hence, research to understand and optimize the machining of titanium alloys is of great benefit to the industry in general. A positive tool polarity is generally adopted in sink EDM to maximize material removal relative to tool wear. Sink EDM of α/β titanium alloys as Ti6Al4V is however atypical in that these materials necessitate a negative tool polarity. Adding to the intrigue are gamma titanium aluminides (γ-TiAl), which machine better under the conventional positive polarity. Established explanatory models of sink EDM fail in resolving the removal behavior – a need for fundamental research is given. This thesis focuses on clarifying the phenomena behind this interesting behavior by investigating removal mechanisms over a range of relevant process conditions. The polarity-effect is demonstrated to arise from the polarity-dependent nature and extent of titanium carbide (TiC) formation on the workpiece surface, which significantly affects material removal mechanisms. An explanatory model, deduced from different experimental and numerical approaches, clarifies the influence of polarity to the formation mechanism of a TiC layer. With regard to monitoring of adverse layer formations, the measurement of acoustic emission (AE) is proven an appropriate concept. A correlation of the AE signal to process forces is even established, which may be crucial to determine the deflection of thin electrodes in EDM. Finally, the knowledge acquired is applied and enhanced in comprehensive process design, that also involves the machining of additively manufactured γ-TiAl. The study reveals the beneficial behavior of the fine microstructure relative to the resulting surface integrity. As a result, this thesis delivers a model-based concept for process design with respect to the adequate choice of tool polarity during machining of titanium alloys.
