Hi there,

After conducting several interviews with leaders from around the world and diving into the existing research on leadership paradoxes, I recently published my Forbes Council article titled, “The Art Of Balancing Leadership Paradoxes.”

I remember myself in the early days of my leadership career, trying to be both a strategic thinker while still delivering visible results. Thinking I was building a strong team by providing very little guidance, then suddenly diving into the details when I felt we were off track. My first years were a clear example of poor management of the leadership paradoxes every leader faces in their career.

As leaders climb the corporate ladder, their teams grow larger, and so do their responsibilities. This increase in responsibility often forces them to juggle seemingly contradictory demands. It’s at this point that many leaders realize the importance of mastering the art of navigating leadership paradoxes.

If you want to avoid my mistakes and are interested in learning how to successfully manage these paradoxes, I encourage you to read the article. It offers a nuanced perspective on a challenge many top leaders face today.

Now, here’s another paradox I’m facing: I have so much I’d love to share with you in this newsletter, but I only want to send you what’s most useful and relevant to you. So, could you help me with that by replying to this email with your preferred option?

1. “I’m interested in reading your latest articles, like the one above or the one you wrote for the Elpha community about Mastering Your First 90 Days at Your New Work or interviews with entrepreneurs and business leaders like an interview with the CEO of Mews.”
2. “I’d like to read abstracts and ideas from your upcoming book on how high-performing teams drive organizational growth and how leaders can build those teams.”
3. Something else (please specify and explain).

You can just respond with a number, but of course, I’d love to hear more if you select option 3.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Best,

Daria
