When Wisdom Leads, Growth Follows

Dear? ‘Our Stable Mind’ community,

Welcome back to another edition of Our Stable Mind, your resource for leading through our unstable world with greater ease. This month we focus on the idea that when wisdom leads, growth follows.

In our previous edition, we looked at the core pillars of a stable mind and explored its significant impact on fostering organisational health and promoting mindful leadership.?

During the month, at the "Regulating the Game" conference, we highlighted the role of a stable mind in addressing Australia's gambling issues through multidisciplinary efforts. Strengthening mental stability fosters practical wisdom ('phronesis'), crucial for ethical decision-making in diverse situations. Consider the impact of phronesis in our article?

In our next discussion, we'll explore how a stable mind enhances leadership wisdom, helping us navigate complex ethical situations and multi-stakeholder environments, and fostering our ability to make balanced decisions and actions.
