kéttagú

kéttagú is a Hungarian word that translates to "two-headed." It is often used metaphorically to describe a situation, organization, or entity that is divided, lacks clear leadership, or has conflicting decision-making processes. The term implies a lack of unity and potential for inefficiency or indecision due to the presence of multiple, often competing, centers of authority or influence.

For instance, a government body with two equally powerful co-leaders might be described as kéttagú if their differing views lead to policy paralysis. Similarly, a company with two co-CEOs whose visions clash could be considered kéttagú. The concept highlights a structural or functional weakness stemming from a divided or ambiguous leadership. It is not inherently negative in all contexts, but it often carries an implication of potential difficulty in achieving cohesive action or a singular direction. The effectiveness of a kéttagú structure can depend heavily on the ability of the two entities to cooperate and find common ground.
