A person's intelligence isn't revealed only by what they know. Sometimes, it's revealed by who they choose to listen to. A wise leader understands that he cannot know everything. So he surrounds himself with people who can challenge his thinking, point out what he cannot see, and tell him the truth—even when the truth is uncomfortable. But surround yourself with people who only praise you, agree with everything you say, and never challenge your decisions, and eventually your weaknesses become your biggest blind spots. This applies far beyond politics or leadership. Look at your friends. Look at your advisers. Look at the people you trust. Look at the voices you allow into your decisions. Your circle doesn't just influence your future. It can reveal the quality of your thinking today. #wisdom #discernment #blowthisup #fyp #mythoughts
