Leadosophy

Episode 7 This episode examines "The Greek term translated here as belief, 'doxa,' [which] can also be translated as opinion. The root of 'doxa' is dokein, seeming. In a belief, something seems so-and-so to someone. But there is also an element of judgment or acceptance" (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/skepticism-ancient/).

Are our opinions of any value? What about when we throw our opinions around haphazardly, e.g.., on social media? Can we learn anything from someone else if we dogmatically believe our opinions are facts or truths?

These are questions for Leadosophy to examine in this episode.

Season One: Foundations of Leadosophy

Leadosophy is the fusion of leadership and philosophy. We use philosophical thought to deepen our understanding of leadership, together.

Episode 6 This episode is about examining our assumptions which undergird our values and principles.

How many of us “decide” to go to work every day? I chose to work today because I “have to make money”. This is an assumption I have. This assumption came from somewhere (macroeconomics textbooks, life experience, my parents, etc.). This assumption did not emerge from nowhere. How many assumptions do we make everyday about others? Where did these come from? Are they accurate? Could I be wrong? Am I taking something for granted that I should no be?

These are questions for Leadosophy to examine in this episode.

Episode 4 This episode examines the importance of followership. It is vital that we deepen our understanding of followership because that makes leaders better. Followers make the world go round. Followers are building high-quality products, and followers still produce when leaders are absent or ineffective. Maybe this should have been episode 1? Enjoy!
