Continue....How successful leaders think (complexity and simplicity)

The article even gets interesting, it defines two common type of human trait in two simple words "Simplicity and Complexity" Most of us choose the route to be simple and shun our selves away from complexity and ambiguity.

We crave certainty of choosing between well-defined alternatives and the closure that comes when a decision had been made.

I can so much relate to above thinking, I prefer choosing branded products, popular titles, facts and things, as its easy to believe that yeah this will be good, and have not much challenged myself to choose an alternative that is not well define!!!

like for me SPURS is my favorite basketball team, because they are popular they play great stated by the wide media and famous grapevine. They become easy alternative to be fan of.

Can you all relate to this!!! Share your thoughts on the blog

lets get out of our comfort zone take advantage of our opposable minds, by resisting our natural leaning towards simplicity and certanity!!!!

Challenge your brain cells and think complex - principle of opposable mind!!!

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.
