Embracing Creative Tensions to Solve Your Toughest Problems
1 of 1 copy available
For many of us, these competing and interwoven demands are a source of conflict. Since our brains love to make either-or choices, we choose one option over the other. We deal with the uncertainty by asserting certainty.
There's a better way.
In Both/And Thinking, Wendy Smith and Marianne Lewis help listeners cope with multiple, knotted tensions at the same time. Drawing from more than twenty years of pioneering research, they provide tools and lessons for transforming these tensions into opportunities for innovation and personal growth.
Filled with practical advice and fascinating stories—including firsthand tales from IBM, LEGO, and Unilever, as well as from startups, nonprofits, and even an inn at one of the four corners of the world—Both/And Thinking will change the way you approach your most vexing problems.

Stephanie Dillard is a trained opera singer, and this can be heard in her flawless diction, calibrated pacing, and pleasing pitch patterns. Though this kind of vocal discipline could make an audiobook by two business experts sound too formal, Dillard's friendly perfection sounds inviting, never stuffy. The authors say modern life is full of apparently irreconcilable choices. These conflicts are vexing, often forcing people into either/or thinking that narrows options and stifles creative approaches to problems. The authors' research, stories, and practical advice blend nicely to broaden the way listeners think about contradictory choices. This audiobook will help listeners rise above the tension in life's dilemmas and develop more intelligent ways to approach them. T.W. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
