Balance: Beyond Binary

From Scrubbing Bilges to Steering Boardrooms: The Paradoxes of True Leadership

Leadership, even when humanised, is not about finding a single “right” answer, but about navigating and embracing the tension between opposing forces (paradoxes) to lead with intention, self-discipline, alertness, and intelligence, especially when navigating your people through an uncharted future. 

Drawing on Bjørn Højgaard’s extensive career as a human, ship captain, and CEO in the global maritime industry, from the bottom to the top, Bjørn Højgaard contends that effective leadership involves a constant balancing act between seemingly contradictory qualities and approaches, but is deeply rooted in human virtues, manifested as Human Understanding.
