It's better to be the wisest person in the room than the smartest.
People prove their intelligence by showing what they know. They reveal their wisdom by integrating what everyone knows.
Intelligence can be used to advance personal agendas. Wisdom guides groups to shared goals.

The true leader in a group is rarely the person who talks the most. It's usually the person who listens best.
Listening is more than hearing what’s said. It’s noticing and surfacing what isn’t said.
Inviting dissenting views and amplifying quiet voices are acts of leadership.

I occasionally see misuse of the term “psychological safety.” It isn’t a buzzword, but a research-backed approach to making sure everyone on the team feels comfortable taking risks. At studies at Google it was the key predictor of innovative team success. rework.withgoogle.com/guides…
