Marianne Lewis and Wendy Smith on Applying Both/And Thinking to Solve Your Toughest Problems EP 222
About this episode
Today I talk to Wendy K. Smith, a professor of management and faculty director at the Women’s Leadership Initiative at the University of Delaware, and Marianne W. Lewis, the dean of Carl H. Lindner College of Business at the University of Cincinnati, about the power of using both/and thinking to solve your biggest problems. Go here to purchase their book Both/And Thinking: https://amzn.to/3Ff0flx. What We Discuss with Marianne W. Lewis and Wendy K. Smith About Both/and Thinking Both/and thinking is a versatile thinking style that helps you look at problems from multiple perspectives and find sustainable and creative solutions. By learning to use both/and thinking, you'll be able to think outside the box and solve problems in unique and innovative ways! Likewise, the mechanisms for navigating paradoxes are paradoxical. We need tools that can be adopted on an individual level. Marianne and Wendy show us how to change our mindsets to embrace both/and thinking and shift sentiments to find comfort with the discomfort of paradoxes.
