How successful Leaders think-chemical analysis of the brain

I recently read an article in HBR on "how successful leaders think", it was really fascinating to read, and i was quiet enlighten, so i wanted to share it with my blog readers. The article stated that "the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function" is a sign of truly intelligent individuals and integrative thinking tremendously improves people's odd to clear them.The article talked about Bob Youngs "free-software model" and his philosophy on it. It seemed to be really interesting how Mr. Young came to this decision as at that time he had two opposing ideas 'high-margin proprietary model" which was a trend and most of the big software giants were adapting. Mr. Youngs approach showed that he seemingly included some twist on both the models to make it unique to satisfy his company goals. He made it "the free-software model, low product"Multiple examples in this article boils down to one common trait between all the leaders, the opposable mind. This is a unique feature to a human that gives them the ability to take the best from two opposing ideas, situation and solutions.
