<div style="width: 360px;">
<blockquote><p><em>Look straight ahead; don´t even turn your head to look.<br />
</em></p></blockquote>
<p class="quotee">King Solomon</p>
</div>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h4>To summarize this week</h4>
<p>To become a wiser leader:<br />
• View life as a constant development<br />
• View perceived setbacks as opportunities to learn and grow<br />
• Balance what you receive against what you expect<br />
• Help your group to analyze in all the different situations what they did well, what could be developed further, and how others have done<br />
• Focus on short-term objectives and progress in tough periods, which creates energy and positive ambition<br />
• Know that the situation never is as bad as it seems and never as good as it can be</p>
<h3>About &#8220;The Key Leadership Principles&#8221;</h3>
<p>This weeks Key Leadership Principle is &#8220;Lead in changing times&#8221;.<br />
I will write one thought for every day during this week and then give you the opportunity to reflect on some important questions on how to Lead in changing times the following week.</p>
<p>This is the format I will use to inspire your learning, releasing your talent and potential. My hope is that you will come along with your thoughts along the way.</p>
<p>I wish you the best in your life and leadership,</p>
<p>Per Winblad</p>

<p>Wise leaders focus on short-term objectives and progress in tough periods, and they strengthen the initiative and ability to act. </p>
<p>Small steps and victories give important positive energy to go further and strengthen the group’s self-confidence and sense of being successful. </p>
<p>Each day, step-by-step dealing with and resolving opportunities, information, and issues that we are facing, brings forward the best in us. </p>
<p>We grow!</p>

<p class="quotee">King Solomon</p>
</div>
<p>Wise leaders draw strength from setbacks and learn from failures. </p>
<p>They realize that trials make people to grow, that the suffering teaches us patience and patience develops internal strength and character. We mature. </p>
<p>They know that the more experience they gain and the more setbacks they overcome the better and stronger leaders they will become. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>We are especially important for each other, to support each other to such an approach.</p>

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.

<blockquote><p><em>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.<br />
</em></p></blockquote>
<p class="quotee">King Solomon</p>
</div>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<blockquote><p><em>A man who refuses to admit his mistakes can never be successful. But if he confesses and forsakes them, he gets another chance.<br />
</em></p></blockquote>
<p class="quotee">King Solomon</p>
</div>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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.</p>

</em></p></blockquote>
<p class="quotee">King Solomon</p>
</div>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
