Abstract:

Contemplation is an ancient discipline that is most often associated with religion and contemplation of God within various religious systems. In the modern sense, however, we can also consider it as a technique or technology not only of personal personal but also social development. By involving both our logical thinking and abstract thinking, it allows us to comprehensively grasp virtually any topic. In today's flood of approaches and techniques for developing leadership skills, contemplation can seem like a pleasant refreshment. It is essentially playful, allows adaptation to personal needs and assumptions, and at the same time is deeply rooted in our neurology. Contemplation is, in essence, the natural ability of our minds to grasp topics and problems impartially and to find original and meaningful solutions. As such, it can be used as a stand-alone technique or as a supplement to psychological or spiritual practices already used. The article describes a new view of contemplation, which puts it in the context of modern knowledge about the functioning of the nervous system and shows how it can be used by people in managerial and ledership positions.
