Our world is facing global challenges that require extraordinary creativity from diverse teams. But only when team members embrace their contradictions, and are willing to openly discuss their opposing perspectives, can they integrate them into innovative solutions. In this INSEAD Knowledge paper, Ella Miron-Spektor, Kyle Emich et al argue that when teams adopt paradoxical frames, they collectively recognise the contradictions inherent in the task at hand, yet understand that the contradictions could feed off each other to greater benefit. This paradox mindset helps team members surface their latent differences, in representational gaps, and acknowledge these tensions, while seeing the differences as a strength and an opportunity to create good ideas.
