Pieces of Wisdom that will make you even wiser

Here is one: If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.

You can be smart and brainy but it doesn't mean you're wise. The dictionary defines wisdom as ''the soundness or quality of an action or decision with regard to the application of experience, knowledge and good judgement. I would agree that most wisdom comes through experience and application. I am much wiser as a result of my failure, success and the school of hard knocks.

How does choose to be a wise leader?

1. They Acquire Knowledge

Books help, but they stretch their knowledge beyond intellectual pursuits. A wise and prudent leader soak up the wisdom with others, acknowledging that they don't know it all. Remember this quote?

                   If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.

Being wise means you will go searching for a room, enter it, have conversation and come out of the room wiser than when you went in.

2. They Are Star Struck Not The Star

Wise leaders don't want the perception that they are ''rock stars''. Why? Rock stars always have spotlight shining on them. Wise leader will instead show interest in the other person by shining the spotlight on them. This is what initiates the best conversation , learning about what they do talk about themselves and wise leaders let them!

3. They Watch Their Words When They Talk

So much conflict, confusion and misunderstanding comes from our words and what we communicate. Wise  leaders are careful about what they speak, give good and sound advice, don't talk out of the both side of your mouth, and have the other person's best interest in mind. When they do, they get a lot more in return.

 

BE SMART  AND BE A WISE LEADER!
