Most of us like our decisions neat and tidy. Get the information. Make a decision. Move on. But skilled leaders understand that life (and leadership) are rarely that simple. The ability to hold ambiguity, and to let go of personal preference in favor of a bigger goal are often key to making progress on the most subtle and complex organizational challenges. Ambiguity, or the ability to hold conflicting points of view at the same time is, in appropriate measure, a key asset for leaders, especially leaders of change.
