Biography
Lotte S. Lüscher, Founder, Clavis Business Psychology, and external lecturer, Aarhus Business School and the Department of Psychology, Aarhus University, Denmark.
"Lotte Luscher inspires leaders to not only work through but to thrive with paradoxes - the interwoven contradictions that pervade our organizations and our leadership lives. Through insights and examples she demonstrates the value of engaging tensions, accepting paradoxical challenges as opportunities for innovation and improvement. Such a paradox mindset holds promise for more sustainable approaches to leading in times of rising change, ambiguity, and competing demands."
Marianne W. Lewis, Dean and Professor of Management, Cass Business School, City University, London
"Leadership is full of paradoxes and every leader struggles to cope with them. This book digs into the heart of what paradox is and how to deal with the dilemmas that confront us every day. Everyone with leadership aspirations should read it."
Morgen Witzel, Fellow, Exeter Centre for Leadership, UK
