Philosophy for Business Leaders

<p>Expertise has almost become synonymous with certainty, knowledge, and definitive answers. We live in a world where everyone is expected to know what they're talking about, make the right decisions, and be effective in their pursuits.</p><p><br></p><p>A direct consequence of this is the discouragement of asking questions, sometimes leading to an increasing sense of impostor syndrome, while at other times, resulting in a lack of self-awareness and an acute sense of alienation at work and in life.</p><p><br></p><p>But is there another way, one that perhaps values curiosity, belief questioning, and uncertainty?</p><p><br></p><p>This book suggests that a philosophical mindset may offer a possible remedy to this problem. It does so by exploring the importance of asking questions, questioning our assumptions, embracing and navigating uncertainty and adversity, and finding meaning in them, as well as exploring ethical decision-making frameworks.</p><p><br></p><p>Whether you're a business leader or a professional, this book invites you to look at the problems you're facing at work and in your life from a fresh perspective, using basic philosophical tools, stories, and real-life examples.</p>
