Knowledge

Patience

Options

Insight and Understanding: Knowledge provides insight into a situation, allowing one to see the big picture as well as the finer details. This enables a person to make decisions based on a well-rounded perspective, minimizing errors and anticipating potential challenges.

Credibility and Influence: In many situations, knowledge boosts credibility, allowing those with it to influence outcomes and gain trust.

Continual Adaptation: The more one knows, the more adaptable they are, allowing them to adjust quickly as new information or changes arise.

Delayed Gratification: Patience allows a person to wait for the right moment, avoiding impulsive decisions and staying focused on long-term gains. This is crucial in scenarios that require thoughtful planning or strategy.

Resilience Under Pressure: Patience also enables resilience, allowing someone to withstand setbacks, manage stress, and make level-headed decisions under pressure.

Building Strong Relationships: Patience often strengthens relationships, as it allows for empathy and understanding, leading to better teamwork and collaboration.

Flexibility and Freedom: Having multiple options means not being forced into a single course of action, which increases bargaining power and the ability to pivot when necessary.

Risk Management: With more options, one can reduce risk or choose a safer path if conditions change, which can be a crucial advantage in volatile situations.

Strategic Leverage: Options allow for leveraging different pathways to negotiate, improve terms, or create win-win scenarios that others may not see.

Military Sherpa coaches master the role of both implementer and facilitator, transforming leadership into a lifestyle for themselves and those they guide.
