=== Guidelines for Creation ===
In order to create a proper polarity map, there are specific guidelines that are necessary. According to&nbsp;[https://learningforward.org/docs/default-source/leading-teacher/lt-sum13-tool-polarity-map.pdf <cite>''<i>Learning Forward''</i></cite>], an educative organization, the following steps are vital to a beneficial map.
'''1) Define the Challenge'''
The most important aspect of this step is to&nbsp;''identify'2) Identify ' an issue that mappers have an ability to change&nbsp;''and''&nbsp;that has yet to be solved. Typically these are problems that can be solved within a Key Polarityshort period of time.
'''32) Agree on Pole NamesIdentify a Key Polarity'''
*In order to construct a map, polarities must be definied. Polarities can be added to a map if mappers can articulate the:**Presence of an issue over time**Presence of two interdependent alternatives, meaning, that you can only focus on an aspect for a fixed time before it influences the other**Necessity of each pole**How focusing on specific values will impact the other alternative*This step is achieved through team collaboration and field testing '''3) Agree on Pole Names''' *While seeming obvious, this is important. Pole names should not be charged, as to bias or diminish the ideas of others. '''4) Write the Pole Names''' '''5) Brainstorm Content'''&nbsp; *Brainstorming consists of asking about the positives and negatives of each poles.*This can first be done individually by team members, and then aggregated and revised for the final map.
'''5) Brainstorm Content'''
'''6) Agree on a Higher Purpose and Deeper Fear'''
 
This step concludes the process, adding in reasons that the problem is being addressed.
*The&nbsp;''higher purpose'' will focus on the reason for weighing the interdependent poles.
*The&nbsp;''deeper fear'' is the main negative that will result from the imbalance of the polarity, or how poor management of the polarity will later manifest.
