LEAD"er"SHIP

THINK contrary to EXPECTATION

SOCIAL MEDIA POST designed and written by Shelley Batcules: Lessons in Linguistics, October 1, 2019

As I poke at and ponder “paradoxos” to get out of a usual way of thinking, I look to lessons in linguistics and language to launch beyond or outside of - to dip into “dokein” (to think) contrary to expectation to create ”paradoxum”. Test the phenomenon: Break out of brainwashing brands, boundaries and language barriers by breaking “a-part” words to discover new meaning injecting the idea that “all parts are a plan” to make meaning whole. Innovate by inspecting the inside of individual innuendoes that merge into the monumental making and meaning of words that form phrases like “Leadership” [LEAD] – [E.R.] – [SHIP]. “Lead the Ship” … always aware the central axis of gravity, “the tipping point” is a potential ER: emergency room.

This linguistic construct implies the inherent risk in learning to live a life in leadership. Wordplay widens depth and scope in meaning and purpose. Open your gate in reverse, leave it unlocked, read right to left, set your book straight upside-down, communicate cues that challenge the checkerboard and chess pieces. Make your game – deconstruct/reconstruct = re-define…
