From Stuck to Breakthrough: Harnessing Paradox for Lasting Leadership Progress – Jared Oates
When leaders feel stuck, it’s often not from lack of effort but from neglecting something essential. The real obstacle is usually competing commitments that create hidden tension. This full-day program helps leaders recognize those tensions, understand paradox as the key to progress, and design practical solutions that work. Through a blend of reflection, peer dialogue, and interactive exercises, participants will learn how to pinpoint the source of their “stuckness” and build a clear plan to move forward. By the end, they’ll see paradox not as a problem to avoid, but as the power source for innovation, resilience, and breakthrough results.
As a result of this training you will be able to:
-
Identify common harmful patterns of polarized leadership
-
Recognize helpful and counterproductive patterns in their own leadership
-
Use a simple model for solving leadership problems and creating breakthroughs
-
