Greetings, Summit Leaders. 
 
Great leaders throughout history understood the significance of wisdom if they were to lead effectively and accomplish much during their lives.
 
Why did these leaders think wisdom was so important then, and what difference will it make in our lives now if we seek, pursue, and discover wisdom as leaders?
 
First, what is wisdom?
 
"Wisdom is the soundness of an action or decision concerning the application of experience, knowledge, and good judgment."
 
On July 12, 1932, Thomas J. Watson Sr. shared his advice on the value of wisdom to a group of new hires in "The IBM Sales School Students Number 67" letter.
"In these times, all businesses are looking for something that will aid them. You will have to explain more things to more people, but that is to your advantage because, in that way, you obtain more training. In connection with that point, do not forget that you are going to need something in addition to knowledge. You must have wisdom. Without wisdom, knowledge is useless. Wisdom is the power that enables us to make practical use of our knowledge." Thomas J. Watson, Sr.
