Grey is the new black: How current times demand a departure from traditional styles of leadership

Catabolic leaders use left brain analysis almost exclusively. This type of thinking is linear, and rational. It's the logical approach, and considers only facts and actual observations. Decisions are often arrived at in a ?black or white? manner. Anabolic leaders use whole brain thinking, which encompasses emotions and intuition, as well as logic. This type of thinking is called holographic thinking, because like multi-dimensional holograms, holographic thinking involves being able to see many perspectives at once. This type of thinking brings a whole spectrum of ?grey? into an otherwise black or white process.
