Mano Ramakrishnan, Head of Research & Solutions Development at Human Capital Leadership Institute (HCLI) at SMU, wrote a commentary on the five paradoxical insights that are crucial for developing top leaders in Asia. They include fostering learning and emphasising doing, accelerating development and slowing down, and excelling at the task while harnessing relationships. Mr Ramkrishnan concluded that what underlies these insights is the concept of "harmonising paradoxes". Implicit is the notion that each paradox contains two seemingly opposing polarities, and that in today's world, there is often an imbalance that needs to be corrected.
