Three Tensions Leaders Must Manage

I recently came across an article from SpencerStuart that captured an important dimension of leadership during these times of uncertainty and complexity. And what resonated with me was the idea that leaders need to manage three key tensions to be effective: optimism vs. realism; push vs. pull; and fast vs. slow. The best leaders are nimble as they navigate these tensions, but that's easier said than done. The art of leadership requires: balancing optimism and realism; recognizing when to push team members and when to pull them along; and recognizing when to go fast and when to go slow.
