What leadership requires: prudence and temperance

From Smartbrief on Leadership by Deborrah Mills | February 7, 2013

Leadership requires courage for impact to create change and move people.  But you also need prudence and temperance.

Prudence means foresight and sagacity.  It includes wisdom and insight (self development)

Temperance means balance, discipline and habits, and return on innovation.

I saw management trainees whom we hired fail on these two traits.  Some go to extremes.   They will not communicate, but when you note them, they will text you all the things that you are not even supposed to know.

Or those who lack insight on what they do...

Do you have these traits as a leader?
