Advanced organizations have a wide array of conflicts that must be faced by the leader every day: collaboration vs. control, flexibility vs. efficacy and benefit vs. social responsibility, to identify only a few of them. The writers present an approach for managing these pressures: the paradox view. Paradox Theory assumes that pressures are embedded to complex systems, and that sustainability depends upon attending to contradictory-yet- interwoven demands simultaneously. The writers introduce a new ability that allows leaders to embrace paradox: 'dynamic equilibrium'.
