Xperience_Polarity Management – Summary

Polarities are interdependent values (i.e., structure/flexibility, stability/change, cost/quality, task/relationships) which often compete and appear to be at cross purposes with one another. Polarities exist at all levels of human systems and are distinct from problems to solve. When a polarity is identified, there is a choice and opportunity for leaders, teams, and organizations to tap the inherent energy system as a resource for generative and sustainable change (or not).  The research is clear. Leaders and organizations that have the ability to recognize polarities as distinct from problems and tap them as a resource outperform the ones that can’t or don’t.

Polarization, fixes that fail, chronic ongoing negative oscillation (ditch-to-ditch driving), and stuckness are symptoms of poorly managed polarities. Xperience coaches hold both ICF and Mastery-level training certification in the nuances and complexities of polarities  and use of the Polarity Map™ and process.  The result for clients is ”PolarOPTIMIZATION” –  achievment of generative and sustainable high-performance results.

From Dr. Barry Johnson, author, Polarity Management: How to Identify and Manage Unsolvable Problems:
“Cliff and his colleagues at Xperience bring passion and dedication to their work and to those with whom they work. They know the basics of Polarity Thinking and can go beyond the basics to address complex and chronic issues experienced by leaders, teams, and organizations. For Cliff, Polarity Thinking is not just a tool for a tool box — it is an energy system within all interdependencies in life that he can join and assist you in leveraging.

The spirit of discovery and openness to learning that Cliff and his colleagues at Xperience shares with clients has made our collaboration a source of joy and learning for both of us. Cliff provides a solid combination of head and heart and I recommend him and other Xperience colleagues, with respect and affection.”
