Is that a tension to manage or a problem to solve?

— Sean McCosh

Reflection

Not every challenge is meant to be eliminated. Some tensions are necessary parts of building something meaningful: speed and quality, vision and focus, ambition and capacity, conviction and humility. If you treat every tension like a problem to solve, you might end up erasing the very edge that is creating your long-term advantage. Knowledge may help you identify problems and name conflict, but wisdom is knowing when to manage the tension rather than trying to eradicate it.

Looking forward,
