Scar Tissue: Why It's Important and How to Parlay It

The truth is that none of us are born smart, and most of us generally learn by making mistakes. Wise people learn from the mistakes of others. Thus, those who have ventured and fought and taken wounds as the price of advancement have much to teach to their wiser followers who are prepared to listen to warriors who have waged battle and have the scar tissue to show for it. If the tribe is to prosper, it will prosper in the hands of the young who treasure and learn from the wisdom of their elders.

This module is about the old warrior communicating with passion and the young warrior communicating with respect-- how are hard-won lessons passed along from one generation to the next? How does this impact the organization's DNA and success?
