Last week I pointed to an idea that is quite simple. Namely, that one of the most important decisions a leader can make is the people with whom he or she chooses to associate. I referred to King Solomon, who several millennia ago, expressed the insight that, ““Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.”
Spring-boarding off of that insight, I reflected on the reality that when choosing our friends, those in leadership would do well to pick the ones whose demonstrated behavior exhibits the highest character and wisdom.
This week I would like to solicit your thoughts. The “hip” term for that is “crowd-sourcing” because it turns the conversation over to you "the crowd" for your insights.
So the question for you is this: As a leader, what do you look for in friendships? What qualities are important to you?
Take a couple minutes, click here, and share your insights.
We will post your insights next week.
