    S4 Ep11: The Power of Polarity Thinking: How Great Leaders Leverage Opposites
    Jul 22 2025
    Guest: Dr. Barry Johnson If you think you have to solve problems, think again. You might be better off leveraging tensions instead! Dr. Barry Johnson, creator of the Polarity Map®, joins host Maureen Metcalf to explore how “both/and” thinking helps leaders navigate complexity, avoid false choices, and drive sustainable performance. From clarity and flexibility to structure and innovation, Barry shares how thriving organizations—and societies—balance competing values rather than pick sides. It’s called polarity thinking…and it works. Packed with stories from the U.S. Navy, Singapore Airlines, and South Africa, this conversation offers a powerful framework for leading in uncertain times. Here's what Barry and Maureen cover: Why choosing a side or over-focusing on one side of an issue can lead to conflict, instead of solving it – and, in extreme cases, break down your organization;How high-performing organizations depend on well-managed tension; andSpotting the false choices that will keep your team stuck.
