Not all leaders think about wisdom as a character trait that needs to be carefully cultivated. Of course, we would quickly agree that wisdom is more valuable than money or status. At least we would agree with that statement intellectually. But how many of us pursue wisdom with the same vigor with which we pursue wealth? How many of us cultivate wisdom with the same passion we use to cultivate our stock portfolio? Somehow we believe that wisdom just comes by itself. Certainly, wisdom can and often is the end result of long experience in the leader’s field of expertise. But the leader who gains wisdom by making poor decisions and learning from them is much farther behind than the leader who seeks the right kind of wisdom from the start.

Listen

Another sleepy Sunday, safe within the wallsOutside a dying world in desperation callsBut no-one hears the cries, or knows what they’re aboutThe doors are locked within, or is it from, without…

Looking through rose colored stained glass windowsNever allowing the world to come inSeeing no evil and feeling no painMaking the light as it comes from within, so dim…

Out on the doorstep lay the masses in decayIgnore them long enough, maybe they’ll go awayWhen you have so much you think, you have so much to loseYou think you have no lack, when you’re really destitute

Looking through rose colored stained glass windows – stained glass windows!Never allowing the world to come in – they won’t lemmie come in!Seeing no evil and feeling no pain – no feel, no pain!Making the light as it comes from within, so dim – the light’s so dim!
– So dim – the light’s so dim!

Looking through rose colored stained glass windowsNever allowing the world to come inSeeing no evil and feeling no painMaking the light as it comes from within, so dim, so dim!
