Problems & Tensions – A Stanley

Healthy if leveraged correctly makes you go further and faster

Some of these cannot be solved but managed

Which should and shouldn’t be solved

• Management & leadership
• Systems & flexibility
• Work & family

How do you know the difference?

1. Does it keep resurfacing?  What if it does occur seasonal?
2. Mature issues on both sides?
3. Are the 2 sides interdependent?

• identify the tension
• create terminology
• inform your core
• continually give value to both sides
• don’t weigh in too heavily…
• don’t allow strong personalities to win the day
– don’t think ‘balance’ – think ‘rhythm’

Discern tensions that need to be managed vs problems to be solved
