Math should be compulsory for all leaders!

I woke up this morning thinking about what is the answer to developing logical thinking? After much thought and analysis I came to the conclusion that mathematics was the only core subject that taught logic. This also led me to thinking about what is the most fundamental quality that we miss in our leadership values today? we have charismatic, creative, thinking, hardworking, diplomatic and all the other well documented qualities to be found in many leaders, yet so many of us shrug our head at so many policies- be it in our governments our companies. I have read many books on leadership, attended leadership camps, management trainings and seminars, and the one straight simple fact has never be stated- BE LOGICAL!

If we made practicing math a daily routine for ourselves and compulsory for all leaders, it may just turn out to be for our brain what physical exercise is to our bodies- the best way to stay fit and be prepared t handle pressure , load and stress!! Most logical thinking is required when pushed against a wall, in times like these, and this is when most people panic! The physical phenomenon of muscle pulls when you haven't toned and exercised is the equivalent of headaches and breakdowns of the brain when difficult & demanding situations required thinking arise!
Additionally, most of the times you do not have to be super smart to know the right answer to the problem- just know where to start, what pointers to look out for and how to analyze the clues to leade a conclusion- the fundamentals of solving mathematic problems!

Think about it--- and while you ponder, grab that sudoku puzzle or mental math quiz! Oh mind you are such a beautiful thing!
