The one problem you must defeat in your leadership development

The Binary Mind 

Our human mind is trained to view things mostly in the binary perspective. We generally interpret things as Black & White, Right & Wrong, True & False, Good & Bad, Yes & No etc.
We do not allow the world of uncertainty to exist even in our consciousness. We want Certainty to be our guiding light always

But our existence is not Binary nor is the ecosystem surrounding it. We exist in the mixture of Certainty & Unpredictability

Dont Duple it 

Thus the desire to see & interpret things in the simple “Duple” phenomena is a false start

Our insecurity & the haste in understanding any phenomena must not dissolve the possibility of the existence of an area of darkness. Just because we do not have answers to certain things doesn't mean we do not understand it

An Area of Darkness is sometimes more illuminating than the percieved halo around it

Not having an answer is also an answer sometimes. To be ignorant rather than be disdainfully rigid is a proper way forward at certain times

Leadership of the Mind 

To prevent the minds from descending into the abyss of Binary & Duple Phenomena (BDP) is what leadership must try, practice & preach

The Binary & Duple Phenomena (BDP) is the stepping stone to failure in the leadership of the minds

The one who controls the BDP will control the Thought Leadership

Do you agree?

This book deals extensively on the history of the Greco-Persian wars fought in the 5th century BC. Herodotus is believed to have written his voluminous book around 440 BC.

Most of our knowledge about the Persian Empire of that time comes from this book.  The Greek POV The book is not impartial in its observations as it is written from the point of view POV of the Greeks. Nevertheless the Style, Geography, Events, Descriptions of war etc dealt in the books are matters worth going through. If you love history you will love Herodotus.
