Can a leader rely solely on logic or emotion to lead? What happens when you combine both?

Sound is completely distorted on this video...

Very interesting. Combining the two, a very interesting thought

[renrieon]

I enjoyed this speech, and just thought I would share my thoughts on it. Interesting concept. It's weird, I never thought of someone going off to war as being an act of emotion, but it totally is. It's also logical though, to want to protect your family and country. Say if a family man goes off to war. In his mind, doing so will make it more likely his family and home are safe and his child will grow up healthy. To go off to war and risk your life is a huge challenge to volunteer for and may seem illogical because you could die. But the human body is "programmed" to want to procreate and so uses emotion to say, hey, this is a high priority goal, lets make a logical plan to achieve it. There must be a balance of emotion and logic, since if you take away too much of either and you lose the essence of what it is to be human. Just my opinion. Thanks for sharing TEDxEmbryRiddlePrescott

Personally I found this speech hard to follow. Too many examples, most of which were generalisation not solid references, that felt unfinished and not properly analysed.

[kindikind]

There's a reverse phase sound issue here

[pebblenapkins]

this can only be heard through headphones or speakers. phone speakers are silent

[austinsargeant]

He didn’t do much to explain how to combine logic and emotion in yourself, but he did acknowledge that they both exist. 😒 congrats

[anthonynwankwo]

Good speech man. Very good public speaking skills

[Confessions]

Funny how this talk is combining the two and there's an initial problem with the sound. Which if you think about it, most people experience with their relationships in some form. 😊

[zackerypeterson]

Ok but how to protect agaunst malicous/greedy characters that apply this to your interactions.

[itsysamuels]

By the end he said that emotions can be good to manipulate people to do certain things
But he doesn't explain the difference between emotions and logic

[TTTTTTTTT]

Our purpose is to be happy. How to achieve happiness? Logic. Idk man, I think those two are connected. Maybe at a higher level they are the same branch after all

The Jails are Filled with Emotional Men And Women. Not Logical Men or Women.

[itsysamuels]

If someone can go study but is family will suffer or can go work to pay for his family then here the logic is with emotions about is family
And the emotions is the logic, because by logic if he will not use the emotions he will suffer him self because the only reason he studying is to pay for his family but if he will not work now he will not have a reason to pay for his family in 4 years from now
But when it's comes to understand thing and logic in life like man and women there is no emotions in this logic truth

[eminemstrash]

Men playing in women's sports is the manifestation of what happens when Feelings are given authority.

Emotions should never be given precedence over objective truth.

[Imthesoulofthes]

‘You had no right to hit her!’

‘If I didn’t do what I did, She would’ve stabbed me in the eye and put me in the ICU’

‘But Still! Real Men don’t hit women’

‘Shut up. Just Shut up. I had to do what I had to do to survive. Also I have video footage of her attacking me’

‘….’

‘Walk Away.’



Get it?

If everyone in the world thought logically, objectively it would be a much better place. It wouldnt be as interesting, no great pieces of architecture or works of art. But it would be better, most if not all world conflicts wouldnt have happened. Equality would not be an issue. We would be far more advanced scientifically and mathematically and religion and prejudice most likely wouldnt play such a dominant role either. You often find the logical thinkers, the mathematicians and scienticts are athiest or agnostic. I have no problem with good religious people, I like that it teaches you to be a good person (although you should know that without religion) however I dont agree with the spiritual side and the fact that people all over the world use religion as a scape goat for their emotional views on humanity.

[anaguerrerosholisticwellbe]

Aw the sound is not good. I can't hear it.

How to Ted talk in 3 easy steps

1. Sound pretentious as possible .
2. Always give the feeling you are about to pay yourself on the back
3. Make sure you have no real grasp on what you are talking about .
