"Consultant Lucas notes that paradox is a constant in the world of business. Strong leaders should also be virtually invisible. Departments should be structured and efficient but also flexible and creative. However, he also points out that paradox provides only an apparent contradiction, and that through practice and discernment business leaders can embrace paradox as a powerful and practical method of influencing and progressing.

He concludes with advice on applying the principles to create lasting impact and widespread wealth."
