I like the idea of “dialectical” as in the Dialectical Behavioural Therapy of Marsha Linehan.What it tells us is that people in leadership positions like therapists and teachers need to both accept the people for where they are in the process and at the same time help them change.That is the dialectic.But it is no easy matter.If one accepts alone,the result is stagnation.But if one pushes too hard for change one comes up against resistance.Awesome process,indeed.
