Leadership & Wisdom

Wisdom is knowledge and experience tempered by awareness. Of course people expect leaders to be knowledgeable, but knowledge alone does not a leader make. You develop wisdom by taking what you know and doing something with it. By rolling with the punches, you acquire wisdom as much from failures as you do from successes. Knowledge can be acquired. Wisdom is earned. Wisdom transcends knowledge. A wise person never stops growing, and wisdom expands through sharing. If you want to be a genuine leader, someone people follow willingly, there are a few things you have to share unconditionally: courage, compassion, and wisdom. Unconditionally just means with no expectation of return. It means you trust the people you're sharing your wisdom with, and you're trusting them to expand it and help it grow. You expand your potential by expanding the potential of others. You do this by teaching, by sharing your courage, compassion, and wisdom unconditionally. That's the essence of Sensei Leadership. Leadership through teaching and sharing. A dictator can get things done too, but a dictator gets things done through force, fear, and coercion. A leader is one who develops willing followers, and that you do through sharing. Trust your followers and share these qualities unconditionally. That's how you cultivate and reveal their true potential. And realize your true power as a leader and as a person.
