This book demonstrates how organization leaders who balance several key paradoxes achieve greater growth and sustainability in the long term than those who use financial data alone. It addresses the issues that are the most troublesome to people and the organizations they work for. The author provides deep insight into the root causes of workplace issues and provides practical language and tools to address the paradoxes that seem to block the achievement of success and life satisfactions.
