The tide has turned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are now seeing this revolution of academics and leaders wanting to understand paradox, as they experience organizations and our society as complex and filled with tensions,\u201d Smith said. \u201cParadox theory offers an approach to value these competing demands and transform them into creative possibilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are late to the paradox party, and we have some catching up to do,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Smith notes the historic roots of paradox theory dating back more than 2,500 years. Disciplines such as physics and psychoanalysis have had a paradoxical revolution over the past 150 years. She points to physicists such as Niels Bohr, Michael Farraday, and Albert Einstein that embedded paradox into their insights into quantum physics. She also highlights the paradoxical nature of psychodynamics in the writings of scholars such as Carl Jung, Alfred Adler, and S\u00f8ren Kierkegaard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow is the time for scholars and leaders to embrace and navigate the paradoxical nature of organizations and society,\u201d Smith said. \u201cThis paradox approach is not just, \u2018How do we solve problems of innovation and sustainability?\u2019\u2014it\u2019s \u2018How do we really fundamentally rethink business and our approach to learning about organizations and leadership?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Daniel Butcher Paradox used to be considered a peripheral subject of academic study best suited to philosophy, literary theory, or religious studies.
