A Forgotten Lesson From Socrates About Sageship

Where Most Modern Leaders Completely Fail

When you think about those who Attain Sageship, there is a certain group of Individuals we frequently think about.

Philosophers.

Why?

They generally have Ideas that have Long Outlasted them, and Still Impact Us Today.

Millennia Later.

An Example are the Stoic Philosophers whose popularity has resurged and whose Knowledge Leaders Utilize today.

Often, their Lessons are So Deeply Embedded in Society, we Do Not Even “Know” that those Lessons came from a Philosopher.

Let me ask Another Question though…

What goes through your Mind when you think of a Philosopher?

Likely some Old Individual.

Wise Beyond Their Years.

Sitting.

Contemplating.

Thinking about Life.

Talking about Ideas and Engaging in Discourse to get Others to Understand those Ideas.

Guiding their Society toward a Different Future.

All True.
