NOTE: This module draws from my earlier work under Black Market Leadership. The ideas here predate Chaos Studies in Leadership and form the foundation that made this work possible.
This video explains why definitions are essential to clear thinking and effective leadership communication. Drawing from Socrates, it shows that most disagreements occur not because people are incompetent, but because they are talking about the same word with different meanings in mind. Definitions solve this by placing clear mental boundaries around a concept—identifying what a thing is and what it is not.
