Ambivalenzen und Widersprüche als Herausforderungen für Change-Manager

Contradictions and ambivalences are some of the phenomena that accompany change processes but are exhausting for those who experience them and have to deal with them. Drawing on surveys held during workshops, this article summarizes which contradictions are typical of change processes. As a possibility for effectively countering such contradictions, the two-stage concept from Müller-Christ and Weßling for tolerating contradictions is introduced based on this. Finally, information and ideas for conducting workshops on the topic of contradiction tolerance are presented.
