episode 17 - the word is prelogical

In Episode 17 of "The Word is Leadership," we look at what the random word "prelogical" can teach us about leadership.

Using personal anecdotes from France and Sweden backed by psychological research into why we do what we from the US, I delve into the intricate relationship between logic and emotions.

We discuss the human tendency to simplify complex concepts by dividing logic and emotions and show how successful leadership is about understanding how both drive decision making.

To succeed in building trust and followership leaders need to understand emotional biases and how to generate prelogical responses. I conclude by emphasising the crucial role of emotional needs, safety, and hope in leadership, prompting leaders to reflect on the need and the importance to be prelogical in thinking about why anyone would want to follow them.
