Break Through the Stuck Points That Hold Your Leaders and Teams Back

Executives, coaches, and leadership trainers know the frustration of seeing leaders work harder without moving the needle. Too often, leaders default to one side of a polarity: they push for results or nurture relationships, enforce accountability or show empathy, take bold risks or play it safe. The result? Teams that stall, cultures that fracture, and leaders who feel trapped by circumstances.

In Tension: Mastering the Superpower of Paradox-Aware Leadership, Jared Oates reveals a different path. Drawing on timeless wisdom, modern research, and years of leadership experience, he shows why the key to progress lies in mastering paradox-the ability to hold competing truths in productive tension until breakthrough solutions emerge.

This book will show you how to:

Recognize the hidden paradoxes that are limiting your results
Transform frustration into innovation by seeing what others neglect
Balance empathy and accountability, boldness and wisdom, without compromise
Apply the Leadership Progress Cycle to turn stuck situations into forward momentum

Polarized leaders create unnecessary pain, but paradox-aware leaders unleash potential. If your results are stuck, tension is not your enemy-it's your superpower.
