“The principles of war never change.” That was @PinzonBueno answer when I asked what leaders should learn from military history. As Colombia’s former Minister of Defense, he has seen what most leaders only study. And what stayed with me wasn’t the combat stories. It was how he turned them into lessons for anyone leading through uncertainty. One strength guides him more than any other: Context. It’s the instinct to look back before moving forward, to read the past for the patterns that shape the present. In his view, history doesn’t repeat itself, but its echoes can guide those who pay attention. Watch the full Leading with Strengths interview with Juan Carlos Pinzón here: lnkd.in/e9PiwgrG
