Organizations are permeated with tensions between opposing views and alternatives, a phenomenon that occurs more often when the society changes. Some tensions are obvious, but many stay unrevealed, often due to lack of focus but sometimes due to active ignorance. The result can be that the tensions increase in strength, polarization and ultimately a locked situation, then a swift change of direction characterized by poor efficiency and suboptimization. Proactive leadership based on curiosity, reflection, ability to work in parallel with several solutions, is an important way to avoid these energy consuming events and scenarios, instead creating continuous development and thus sustainable solutions and organizations.
