Publisher's Synopsis
Impossible problems are those that will not easily be solved. They twist and turn and defy resolution. When you think you have them nailed down, they loop, split and flip, taking you round in circles until you find yourself back at square one.
The ability to manage tensions, paradox and uncertainty in business is becoming a much sought-after leadership skill.
'Paradox Management' is a new but increasingly essential field in the area of business management and will be highly influential in the ongoing sanity and success of all organisations and of the people who work for them.
Solving Impossible Problems will give you a greater understanding of organisational tensions and paradox. You will learn how to recognise these 'twisty turny' problems and then use practical tools to resolve them or use them for innovation.
This updated book is a unique guide to greater innovation, heightened wellbeing and enhanced thinking power through the revolutionary process of Paradox Management.
The author, Joe Cheal, has been helping people work through 'impossible' problems since 1993. He has a degree in Philosophy and Psychology, an MSc in Organisational Development and Neuro-Linguistic Technologies and a fascination for the weird things that organisations do.
