In search of lessons to apply in our own careers, we often try to what effective leaders do. Roger Martin says this focus is misplaced, because moves that work in one context may make little sense in another. A more productive, though more difficult, approach is to look at how such leaders . After extensive interviews with more than 50 of them, the author discovered that most are thinkers - that is, they can hold in their heads two opposing ideas at once and then come up with a new idea that contains elements of each is superior to both.

Result:

A.I. Explanation:

Correct answer: emulate
Explanation: The word 'emulate' fits grammatically as it is a verb that describes the action of trying to match or imitate the behavior of effective leaders. This aligns with the context of seeking lessons from leaders' actions.
Meaning: 'Emulate' means to imitate or strive to equal or excel, particularly in terms of behavior or achievements.
Wrong options:
think: 'Think' is a verb that does not fit the context of trying to imitate actions; it refers to the process of considering or reasoning.
say: 'Say' is a verb that refers to expressing something verbally, which does not align with the action of imitating leaders' behaviors.
momentary: 'Momentary' is an adjective that describes something lasting for a very short time, which does not relate to the action of emulating.
integrative: 'Integrative' is an adjective that describes a type of thinking rather than an action of imitation, making it unsuitable here.
will: 'Will' is a noun or verb that indicates future intention or determination, which does not fit the context of imitating actions.
but: 'But' is a conjunction used to introduce a contrast, which does not relate to the action of emulating.
Correct answer: think
Explanation: The word 'think' is a verb that fits grammatically and contextually, as it describes the cognitive process that effective leaders engage in, which is the focus of the sentence.
Meaning: 'Think' means to have a particular opinion, belief, or idea about something; it refers to the mental process of reasoning.
Wrong options:
emulate: 'Emulate' is a verb that refers to imitating actions, which does not fit the context of describing how leaders engage in cognitive processes.
say: 'Say' is a verb that refers to verbal expression, which does not relate to the cognitive aspect of leadership.
momentary: 'Momentary' is an adjective that does not fit as it describes duration rather than a cognitive action.
integrative: 'Integrative' is an adjective that describes a type of thinking rather than the act of thinking itself, making it unsuitable here.
will: 'Will' does not fit as it refers to intention or determination, not the cognitive process of thinking.
but: 'But' is a conjunction that introduces contrast, which does not fit as a verb describing cognitive action.
Correct answer: integrative
Explanation: The term 'integrative' is an adjective that describes the type of thinkers effective leaders are. It fits grammatically and contextually as it characterizes their ability to combine opposing ideas.
Meaning: 'Integrative' refers to the ability to combine different elements into a cohesive whole, particularly in thinking.
Wrong options:
think: 'Think' is a verb and does not fit as it does not describe the type of thinker but rather the action of thinking.
say: 'Say' is a verb that does not describe a type of thinker, making it unsuitable in this context.
momentary: 'Momentary' is an adjective that describes something brief and does not relate to the type of thinking being discussed.
emulate: 'Emulate' is a verb that refers to imitating actions, which does not fit as a descriptor for a type of thinker.
will: 'Will' is a noun or verb that indicates intention, which does not describe a type of thinking.
but: 'But' is a conjunction that introduces contrast and does not describe a type of thinker.
Correct answer: but
Explanation: The word 'but' is a conjunction that fits grammatically and contextually, as it introduces a contrast between the two opposing ideas held by integrative thinkers.
Meaning: 'But' is used to introduce a statement that contrasts with or contradicts something that has been said previously.
Wrong options:
think: 'Think' is a verb that does not fit as it does not serve the purpose of contrasting ideas in this context.
say: 'Say' is a verb that does not function as a conjunction and does not provide the necessary contrast in the sentence.
momentary: 'Momentary' is an adjective that does not fit as it does not serve a grammatical function in contrasting ideas.
integrative: 'Integrative' is an adjective that describes a type of thinker, which does not fit as a conjunction to introduce contrast.
will: 'Will' is a noun or verb that indicates intention and does not serve as a conjunction for contrast.
emulate: 'Emulate' is a verb that refers to imitating actions, which does not fit the grammatical role of a conjunction.
