When Two Opposing Ideas Create Something Greater

What would you do if your investment firm was collapsing, with clients withdrawing funds daily? When Michael Lee-Chin faced this crisis in 1999, he made a decision that defied conventional wisdom - pouring every available cent into a single stock while simultaneously selling other holdings to meet redemptions. This seemingly reckless move transformed his company into Canada's largest privately held mutual fund company and made him a billionaire. What appeared to outsiders as a gamble was actually the product of integrative thinking - the ability to hold opposing ideas simultaneously without losing the ability to function. This cognitive approach has transformed companies from Apple to Starbucks and influenced fields from education to healthcare. What makes it so powerful isn't that it offers incremental improvements - it creates entirely new possibilities where none seemed to exist before. The opposable mind, like our opposable thumbs that create tension with fingers to enable sophisticated actions, can hold conflicting ideas in constructive tension to generate superior solutions that transcend traditional trade-offs.
