Robert E. Quinn helps business and government leaders make sense of the paradoxes, competing demands, and contradictions of organizational life. He explains how leaders - by learning to embrace and transcend paradoxes - can move beyond the overly rational, linear thinking that limits their approaches and see new possibilities for structuring organisations, designing jobs, and solving day- to-day problems.

Illustrated by rich stories and insights from business, public administration, and sports, the book offers a full range of practical guidelines, charts, and self-assessment exercises to help business leaders overcome blocks to high performance and develop the skills needed to prosper in today's business environment. These tools will help managers - understand and balance the polarities that are part of every organization - develop a more flexible logic for coping with unfamiliar problems and demands - make reliable business decisions that successfully integrate conflicting priorities - and chart a course for self-improvement that will lead to mastery in management.
