• UNCERTAINTY is much more stressful when we imagine we are alone. Solo, we can't see the whole picture. Together, we can.
• Who can you partner with today in a dialogue to explore the terrain more completely, including the aspects of the world that are not changing, even in the midst of dramatic change?
• ​Are you using peer coaching skills? Do your managers adapt their supervisory style based on the needs of their team members?  Use a coaching approach to help you create and sustain the culture you want. (Hint: Check out Being Coached: Group and Team Coaching from the Inside to get an insider's view of what peer and group coaching are like.)

When experiencing tension within yourself, or conflict between you and others, Polarity Mapping is powerful tool for creating a picture of the whole. Develop and share your own perspective, and explore and listen to others' wisdom. Map the flow between differing priorities, and identify warning signs to respond to when you over-focus on your own point of view and fail to consider another's. Finally, choose actions that enable you to leverage the value of diverse perspectives.

explore polarity thinking to create a more complete picture.

​Chapters 30, 31, and 34 in VUCA Tools for a VUCA World show the team learning about and using a polarities thinking approach. Ann V. Deaton, PhD, PCC is a graduate of the two-year Polarity Thinking Mastery Program, and certified in the use of the Polarity Assessment for Continuity and Transformation (PACT).

If you'd like the opportunity to experience polarity mapping, or to assess your team/organization and create a plan for sustainable success, we'd love to be your partner in the work.
