THE LEADER HAS WISDOM

Wisdom is the ability to apply knowledge and experience to any given situation.

Wisdom is the something that enables us to use knowledge rightly.

Wisdom resists group pressures, thinks for itself, and is reconciled to the use of its own judgment.

It doesn’t matter how much money you have; everyone has to buy wisdom on the installment plan.

The person who thinks he knows everything has a lot to learn!

Thomas A. Edison made the comment, “We do not know one millionth part of one percent about anything. We do not know what water is. We do not know what light is. We do not know what electricity is. We do not know what gravity is. We do not know anything about magnetism. We have a lot of hypotheses, but that is all.”

Wisdom is making the best use of knowledge. Develop the ability of discernment. The effective leader has the insight needed for any given situation.

One of the tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency.
