Congregations often find themselves in power struggles over two opposing views. People on both sides believe strongly that they are right. They also assume that if they are right, their opposition must be wrong--classic 'either/or' thinking. A polarity is a pair of truths that need each other over time.

No matter what it is called, the research is clear: leaders and organizations that manage polarities well outperform those who don't.
