Dark Arts of Leadership

Dark Arts of Leadership Having distilled the weight of human history, coupled with insights of modern neuroscience.

Burn the self help books on "how to" leadership.There are fundamental "Ways" that we can help build effective and passionate leaders that are successful and makes others leaders successful. We have thoroughly researched the modern authors, innovators and thinkers of the past and present and synergisticly unified various works and ideas into what we believe can be one unified theory of leadership.

We will help others learn how to base themselves in the realities of the moment and how to behave in chaotic circumstances, while becoming a grand strategists for their future. We are designing work that we feel can be targeted to help others create a framework to realistically put this wisdom into practice by translating into their own. DAoL intends to create a Leadership Singularity that will grow an army of leaders through learning and service with proven and competitive strategies, and a singularly dynamic processes.

“I despise the kind of book which tells you how to live, how to make yourself happy. Philosophers have no good news for you at this level. I believe the first duty of philosophy is making you understand what deep s**t you are in!”

Warnings of Dogmatism

Dogma, the established belief or doctrine held by a religion, ideology or any kind of organization: it is authoritative and not to be disputed.

Dogma is why we fight or show disgust for new ideas, alternatives, and change.

It takes work and conscious effort in the way you process new information, to be less dogmatic and open to what contradicts your worldviews.

Authority: “We silence the cognitive dissonance [disagreement/misunderstanding] through self-imposed ignorance.” Basically, it’s a way of ignoring what we don’t want to hear. If it doesn’t fit into our preconceptions we discard it.

We always hide our weakness. Because of this we always berate others for theirs. It's the history of humanity.

Until we can face ourselves, we will continue to mistreat others and lose out on connections that are beneficial among each other and value added to your team.
