In this episode of The Leadership Telos, Dr. M explores the virtue of Prudence, the guiding light of wise decision-making. Prudence is more than cautiousness; it’s the art of balancing courage and caution, wisdom and will, faith and reason. As Aristotle and Aquinas both remind us, prudence is the virtue that directs all others as the mother of moral action and the compass that keeps leaders aligned with truth and goodness.

Drawing from psychology, philosophy, and theology, this episode reveals how prudent leaders:

• Seek wise counsel while discerning truth from deception
• Balance short-term pressures with long-term flourishing
• Lead with both strategic clarity and spiritual humility

Through real-world insights and reflective practice, you’ll uncover how prudence cultivates confidence, clarity, and peace in your leadership, even amid uncertainty.
