First Presentation
Thinking Locally and Globally in Organizational Leadership
Presented by Deborah Schroeder-Saulnier, D.Mgt.

Today it is essential that organizations operate both globally and locally; grow top-line and shrink bottom-line; focus on competition, yet also collaborate and change rapidly, while remaining stable and true to their core competencies. These inherent tensions, or polarities, are at play in every organization – both small and large.

In this presentation, you will learn how polarity management can help simplify the complexity without being simplistic, capitalize on diversity without alienating the diverse groups, provide predictability and stability amidst accelerating change, and convert resistance to change to a resource for sustainable, ongoing change-ability. Whereas problem solving addresses more simplistic issues in organizations, managing polarities addresses more complex issues.

Deborah Schroeder-Saulnier, D.Mgt. is SVP for Organization Consulting. She serves as the Practice Leader in the Midwest U.S. for the Global Develop Center of Excellence and is Subject Matter Expert for Leadership Development.
