Thank you for sharing your thoughts about FedEx company, and regard to your question: What are the key traits or abilities of a leader which can contribute to the ability of foresight in your opinion?

Referring to the question and the quote that I excerpted from your post, “According to Malgeri’s (2010) definition about foresight which “can be considered a behavioural inclination, referring to an individual’s tendency to devote a significant amount of time engaged in thought or activities concerning the future” (para. 1).”

I think, and by looking to keywords “tendency to devote a significant amount of time engaged in thought,” where it links to knowledge, experience, and the outcome is skilled. Thinking of “activities concerning the future,” it links to increase awareness to surroundings. Regarding foresight, foresight encompasses within servant leader’s ability to know the future. So, its ability to predict based on what is occurring in the present and what has happened in the past (Northouse, 2016). The ability of a leader to be a visionary (Northouse, 2016) for the organization, always relates to the knowledge and strength of solving problem, learn from failures, and considering the environment that influences any decisions- I think- it will enable the leaders to predict the future.

Sir William Osler: Live For The Day Using Day Tight Compartments

Thank you for sharing your thoughts that I learned from them.

 

Thinking about negative issues is passive, and we can feel as if things are happening to us – or even become more passive and wait for others to rescue us. But when we begin to take action, we empower ourselves. We need to be able to “live in day-tight compartments” and separate any negative experiences to be able to transform our lives and model the experience to others. Thinking positively, when taking action, sustain the positive change regarding building a strong foundation for the future.

In life, its useful to seal today off from the future and the past and trust our plan, and don’t put regret of the past on repeat by trying to go to our bottom and work up to our life’s purpose. I think Dr. Osler allowed for the rare backward and forward life examination, but he holds to the habitual daily rumination on past and future wouldn’t be helpful to live productively. Otherwise, it will be no resilience or blessing for our growth.

Thank you for sharing your thought that I learned from them.

Regarding your post, one of the most significant challenges women are currently facing is equality in the workplace. The advice for women leaders everywhere is to go for what they want in their careers and not to give up. Hone the skills necessary to give them the opportunity they need to be able to navigate the labyrinth of leadership; which can be through communication skills, leadership development, speak up and be heard.

Building women community through sisterhood and garnering support from other women and empower each other, which can be by starting with our selves’ values, moral, and integrity. Be humbled, show togetherness and passion, excellence and enthusiasm towards our foundation for our progress through our work. Communicate with confidence and clear guideline and be relentless in any preparation. Make our presence known as a leader and collaborate for good.
