Profundity implies insightful understanding, professional sophistication, and nonlinear logical reasoning.

The global world is complex and uncertain, people become profound when they are humble enough to be aware of, admit what they don't know and share what they know. Observe deeply, and understand problems insightfully. Profundity is not for its own sake, but to become more persuasive, influential to communicate empathetically, and deal with tough situations holistically.

Learning knowledge is just the first step. To become more profound, you should think holistically, connect interdisciplinary dots to create fresh knowledge, communicate and handle tough situations smoothly, in order to advance humanity influentially.

It’s important to deepen understanding via practicing critical thinking, independent thinking, integral thinking, etc, with abilities to make sound judgments: Understanding requires a person's ability to grasp or comprehend information; being clear about your responsibility; being flexible to take alternative paths. Profound leaders and professionals are open and deep, able to leverage multiple thinking processes in dealing with varying situations wisely and solving problems effectively. In order to make sound judgment, really dig beneath the superficial layer, leverage the right set of information, weigh multiple options appropriately, optimize coherent processes, make scientific evaluation and comparison structurally,

Regardless of which stage you are at the career cycle, forethoughtful leaders or professionals should continue learning, innovating, and deepening their understanding. If people do not direct gradual strides toward pursuing the deeper state of thoughts and step-wise actions, then they will never know what the substance can do for the potential of humanity. Just because you have arrived at the other side does not mean everyone else has. That’s why profound leaders and professionals have to keep influencing and lifting up the entire human society.

Gravitas can be defined to mean substance, strength, or dignified demeanor: Gravitas is an important professional quality to both those who aspire to lead and those who allow others to lead them. Being professional is not about acting, it's about how you can generate specific energy in yourself to create the authentic impact you choose consciously. Gravitas can mean even more, it could be situation driven, it means consistency, persistence, steadiness, confidence, thoughtfulness, etc.

It takes the breadth of understanding of varying situations and depth of fresh insight upon diverse circumstances to have nature magnet to cause so-called gravitas. If you are a leader, you must convey a clear message and communicate relentlessly, and understand that not all of the stakeholders will move through the change curve at the same speed. With gravitas, leaders can be steadfast in the midst of change or difficulty; without it, they may drift around and lose the focus In this regard, gravitas also includes the traits of discipline, consistency, strength, loyalty, power, duty, and steadiness - above all else, it is an innate character and strength. 

Nonlinearity provides the very clue of complex problems and increasing professional profundity: Given the complexity and uncertainty of the world and given the fallacies of individual decision-making, more often than not, scarcity of insight leads to poor judgment and ineffective problem-solving. Organizational leaders and professionals need to leverage nonlinear logic which is based on a set of integrative thoughts and interdisciplinary reasoning to understand the complex world and solve many of today’s complex problems effectively.

Dealing with the nonlinear, multi-logical situations in today's digital dynamic requires strategic consideration, systems understanding, cross-cultural and cross-generational perspectives to come up with innovative approaches. It’s important to clarify the sequence and consequence of complex issues via in-depth analysis and seamless integration. Nonlinearity to enforce innovation comes through different characteristics such as mixed structure, diversity, and increased flux for coming up with novel solutions.

Profundity implies insightful understanding, professional sophistication, and nonlinear logical reasoning. Profound leaders and professionals are able to dig underneath the surface, see around corners, envision the future with uncertainty, respond to unpredictable or unanticipated circumstances, and build agility to lead forward smoothly.
