1 Why balance logic and emotion?

Logic and emotion are both essential components of human cognition and behavior. Logic helps you analyze facts, data, and evidence, and apply rational thinking and reasoning to solve problems. Emotion helps you express your feelings, values, and motivations, and connect with others and yourself. However, logic and emotion can also conflict or interfere with each other, especially when you face complex, ambiguous, or emotionally charged problems. For example, you may ignore or dismiss relevant information that contradicts your emotional preferences, or you may let your emotions cloud your judgment and prevent you from seeing the bigger picture. To avoid these pitfalls, you need to balance logic and emotion, and use them in harmony rather than in opposition.

Neuroscience tells us that human behavior is inevitably the combination of logic & emotion. Behavior formation is the result of the interaction between the 2 broad systems of our brain, the pre-frontal cortex (ironically the smallest portion of the brain), which is the seat of logic, and the Limbic System; which houses emotion. It is ideal to have a perfect balance between emotion & logic, but that is inevitably never the case. A key element of personality & leadership development is to develop self-awareness about our deep-seated biases & beliefs and strive to strike a harmonious balance between emotion & logic when it comes to decision-making.

In human cognition and behavior, logic and emotion are indispensable. Logic aids in analyzing facts and applying rational thinking, while emotion facilitates expression and connection. Yet, they can clash in complex situations, leading to biased judgments or overlooked insights. To navigate this, strive for a balanced integration of logic and emotion, ensuring they complement rather than hinder each other.

"Somos seres emocionales que piensan, no seres pensantes que sienten". Nuestras decisiones son una mezcla inevitable entre lógica y emociones... O, más bien, al revés: nuestra toma de decisiones está influenciada en un 95% por nuestras emociones y solo un 5% por la lógica. Es clave tenerlo en cuenta y, además, saber gestionarlo, dado que el porcentaje del componente emocional en una decisión puede ser, incluso, mayor. Por ejemplo, es muy probable que una persona confundida o estresada, tome decisiones aún más influenciadas por su mundo emocional que una persona que se encuentra serena. Dado, esto, es fundamental lograr una adecuada gestión emocional a la hora de tomar decisiones para lograr, así, equilibrar la lógica y la emoción.

2 How to assess your problem solving style

Before you can balance logic and emotion, you need to understand your own problem solving style and preferences. How do you usually approach problems? Do you prefer to use logic or emotion, or a combination of both? How do you cope with uncertainty, risk, and stress? How do you communicate and collaborate with others? To answer these questions, you can use various tools and frameworks, such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory (KAI), or the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI). These tools can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses, and how they affect your problem solving process and outcomes.

Understanding your problem-solving style and preferences is crucial before balancing logic and emotion. Reflect on whether you lean towards logic, emotion, or a blend of both in your approach to problems. Consider how you handle uncertainty, risk, and stress, as well as your communication and collaboration methods.

Some tools & models help understand and comprehend individual problem-solving styles. The Neuropower and the Neuroharmony behavioral framework identifies 6 brain networks (logic) and 9 core-belief types (emotion) to generate 64 distinct personas; with each persona having a certain unique & dominant problem-solving trait. This model also brings out the relative strengths and weaknesses of each persona.

3 How to balance logic and emotion

Achieving a balance between logic and emotion can help you better solve problems. To do this, you should recognize and acknowledge your emotions, and use logic to validate and challenge them. Additionally, emotion can motivate and inspire your logic, so don't ignore it. Finally, seek feedback and perspectives from others to broaden and diversify your problem solving approach. Recognizing and accepting your emotions can help reduce their intensity, while using logic to validate them can ensure they are supported by facts. Emotion can also fuel and enhance your logic to make it more meaningful and creative. Seeking feedback from others can provide valuable insights that may have been missed or overlooked.

It all starts with self-awareness! One needs to be 100% aware and be comfortable with one's strengths & weaknesses. It helps to have a master coach teach you the ropes of going from self-oblivion to awakening about oneself. Post that, it is an ongoing journey that keeps getting refined and better with practice!

Existen distintos modelos que pueden ayudarte a gestionar tus emociones para lograr equilibrar la lógica y la emocionalidad a la hora de tomar decisiones. Te comparto uno de mis favoritos. Consiste en realizar cinco sencillos pasos. Paso 1: Detenerse para sentir la emoción. Paso 2: Ponerle nombre a la emoción. Paso 3: Identificar el mensaje (positivo) de la emoción. Paso 4: Dejar ir la carga de intensidad de la emoción. Paso 5: Reflexionar y decidir qué hacer con el mensaje que trae la emoción en el contexto específico en que estoy.

4 How to apply the balance in practice

Balancing logic and emotion is not a one-time event, but a continuous and dynamic process that requires practice and adaptation. To apply the balance in practice, first define the problem and its context using logic to identify and clarify the problem, its causes, and its consequences, while also expressing and empathizing with how it affects you and others. Next, generate and evaluate possible solutions by using logic to brainstorm and research various options, then assessing their pros and cons. After that, use logic to select and plan the best solution, while also communicating and executing it with emotion. Finally, monitor and review the results by measuring and analyzing them with logic, then celebrating or coping with emotion.

Es esencial reconocer que nuestras emociones están profundamente influenciadas por nuestras experiencias pasadas, desde la infancia hasta el presente. Cada individuo posee una historia única que ha moldeado su percepción del mundo y su manera de reaccionar emocionalmente ante diversas situaciones. Por ello, resulta fundamental explorar los patrones emocionales recurrentes en nuestra vida e identificar las experiencias pasadas que podrían estar contribuyendo a dichos patrones. Este proceso nos permite incrementar nuestra consciencia sobre cómo nuestra historia personal impacta en nuestras emociones y, en consecuencia, en la lógica que empleamos para tomar decisiones.

Trato de escribir el problema lo más detallado posible. En paralelo escribo mis sentimientos frente a éste, las cosas que no dije, las que dije sin querer. Las emociones que van surgiendo. Trato de extraer los hechos fácticos, sin interpretación, sin juicios (esta puede ser la parte más difícil) La idea es llegar al origen de los hechos mirados desde el otro lado, desde mi contraparte, con humildad y compasión. Entendiendo que todos somos legítimos otros con distintas miradas de acuerdo a nuestra historia hasta este momento. Hasta aquí ya debo tener una mirada más amplia que solo la mía. Si tengo un equipo, acá viene el brainstorming para buscar juntos ideas de como resolver con creatividad desde esta tierra neutral.
