Episode 48 We can function just fine \u201cknowing that\u201d fire will cook and burn, but to \u201cknow why\u201d this is so or \u201chow this\u201d happens implies a deeper understanding. Practical knowledge, i.e., knowing how deals with action. It has immediate utility in particular situations. Theoretical knowledge deals with universal generalizations, knowing why so and so is more likely true than false. \n\nLeadosophy proposes that Leadership must be field stripped to expose its first principles. Each principle must be examined and understood. Only then, should we attempt to reassemble leadership\u2019s first principles into something whole. This episode posits 10 universal truths about leadership, opening these ten truths up to criticism and potential falsification.\n\nDo you know of any universal truths that can be applied to leadership?\n\nSeason One: Foundations of Leadosophy Leadosophy is the fusion of leadership and philosophy. We use philosophical thought to deepen our understanding of leadership together.
