The document discusses seven paradoxes of organizational development: 1) You have to lead change yourself but can't do it alone - you need support from others. 2) To drive hard results, focus on soft skills like leadership style which influence workplace culture. 3) Invitations motivate more than demands - goals must be clear, relevant, involve others' input, and align with values. 4) Different people can view the same idea differently - slow collective decisions build more buy-in than fast unilateral ones. 5) Speed up change by slowing down and building consensus before deciding. 6) Start with small wins to build momentum for larger changes. 7) Change requires discomfort with the status quo
