    Look straight ahead; don´t even turn your head to look.

    King Solomon

    Wise leaders teach themselves and their group to identify the focus of concern—that which they can affect direct and that which they can affect in a process forward.

    They continue stubbornly to gather experience, which they are turning into wisdom. They renew their group’s cultures and are building in this way the new society. Wise leaders feel the deep pleasure and the call to create the new, better, and greater.

    To summarize this week

    To become a wiser leader:
    • View life as a constant development
    • View perceived setbacks as opportunities to learn and grow
    • Balance what you receive against what you expect
    • Help your group to analyze in all the different situations what they did well, what could be developed further, and how others have done
    • Focus on short-term objectives and progress in tough periods, which creates energy and positive ambition
    • Know that the situation never is as bad as it seems and never as good as it can be

    Keep on sowing your seed, for you never know which will grow – perhaps it all will.

    King Solomon

    Wise leaders focus on short-term objectives and progress in tough periods, and they strengthen the initiative and ability to act.

    Small steps and victories give important positive energy to go further and strengthen the group’s self-confidence and sense of being successful.

    Each day, step-by-step dealing with and resolving opportunities, information, and issues that we are facing, brings forward the best in us.

    We grow!

    Don’t you know that this good man, though you trip him up seven times, will each time rise again?

    King Solomon

    Wise leaders draw strength from setbacks and learn from failures.

    They realize that trials make people to grow, that the suffering teaches us patience and patience develops internal strength and character. We mature.

    They know that the more experience they gain and the more setbacks they overcome the better and stronger leaders they will become.

    Therefore, they are working hard on themselves and their groups to look at the situation from newer and greater perspective. So they retain the view of the world that gives them the strength and energy to proceed with commitment and interest.

    We are especially important for each other, to support each other to such an approach.

    Part 3

    The swiftest person does not always win the race, nor the strongest man the battle. Wise men are often poor, and skillful men are not necessarily famous.

    King Solomon

    Wise leaders realize that – as many say – life is not fair. We are sometimes struck unfairly by losses, which may be heavy burdens to bear.

    But even when we suffer considerable losses, we still have something most valuable left, something that no loss can take away: The freedom and power to choose how we will respond to to life situations and events, and how we intend to address other people we encounter along the way.

    Next to life itself, the power of choice is our greatest gift. Wise leaders choose to react constructively to life events and situations. They choose to turn the negative into something positive and learn from it. They choose to be grateful for life’s trials.

    That power we all have access to within us. We have to accept life as it is and balance what we receive against that which we expect, so we always will maintain a positive movement forward.

    Part 2

    A man who refuses to admit his mistakes can never be successful. But if he confesses and forsakes them, he gets another chance.

    King Solomon

    Wise leaders realize that success is on the other side of perceived failures. They see failure as a part of development and as an opportunity to gain experience and to learn. They are constantly asking new questions, which opens up new perspectives.

    Failures contribute to the discovery of weaknesses; our analysis makes it possible for us to take support, practice, and learn. So, even if this sounds rather strange, we will learn more by failing than through success.

    Wise leaders consider adversity as temporary information on how far they have come on their journey, and they mobilize people in this way to easily gain new energy and power for the next step.

    They are looking for declarations to perceived failure, and they communicate in a way that produces positive energy in their group, thus building an incentive to take even stronger action.

    The intelligent man is always open to new ideas. In fact, he looks for them.

    King Solomon

    Wise leaders are preparing themselves and their group to face the future. They create a positive and optimistic approach to support themselves and others. To learn how to lead is largely a matter of getting acquainted with the development we are a part of constantly seeking knowledge and new information.

    Development takes place all the time. We constantly go from yesterday, till today and towards tomorrow. The world is changing physically, socially, and economically at this very minute. When we see the fact that life itself is about development, our task will be to creatively resolve the various situations we encounter. See things in new and different ways.

    We can all count on situations where we experience having adversities, difficulties or problems, but by accepting change as a natural part of life and leadership, we are taking important steps towards renewal. In effect, we learn more of life’s exciting journey.
