Once, a knot was so intricate no one could untangle it. Only a future king could solve it. Alexander the Great sliced it with his sword, teaching us direct action is often the best solution.
Today’s “Gordian knots” are complex challenges in business, technology, or personal decisions.
How do we tackle them?
Like Alexander, apply bold, unconventional strategies to cut through the chaos.
Imagine a project deadlock.
Traditional methods have failed.
Thinking like Alexander could inspire a breakthrough here.
Instead of more analysis or meetings, redefine the problem.
Remove a key component that seems essential but complicates matters.
Complexity requires a bold hand, not a hesitant one.
This approach values decisive, courageous action.
The modern-day Gordian knot demands the wisdom to know when to cut through and when to untie.
