Does anyone know people with intelligence alone that does not lead them to success? This is because people feel strange about wisdom. People always tend to train to be more intelligent but forget about wisdom. In fact, to compare the advantages of wisdom and intelligence, this proves why wisdom is more important for a good leader.
One of the reasons why wisdom is more important is people with wisdom know how to control emotion. To illustrate, people with wisdom can cope with stress and difficulties easily. Thus, as a good leader, he need to be emotional stronger so that he is calm and smart when he facing problems. On the other hand, If leader with intelligence alone, they will be impatient when they solving problem. They tend to give negative feeling to others when they having stress from their work. This might lead to conflict between people. Therefore, this is why leader with wisdom is more important than intelligence.
Secondly, a leader with wisdom has positive attitude such as humility and forgiveness. People with wisdom view problems in a more positive way. They will not give up easily because of some difficulty in their path of success. Leader with wisdom will accept other’s help to solve problem. They will not feel bad when their group members are smart and capable than them. However, intelligent people will not believe on others and they will feel shame if their team members are smarter than them. The reason why intelligent people act like this is because they think they are able to do everything themselves without any help. Intelligent people usually do not like people’s comment on their decisions because they do not like corrections from others. Thus, this is why people will like to have a leader with wisdom than a leader with intelligence.
Finally, wisdom is more important than intelligence for a leader because people with wisdom learn something such as emotional control, positive attitude from life experience. To learn something from life experience is always hard and valuable because it does not happen to everyone. This is why genius with intelligence and hard work does not mean that they can learn how to be emotional control and good attitude. To illustrate, people learn how to communicate to others when they try to understand and listen to them. This needs time, experience and patience. Intelligent people are impatient and they always want to achieve success in a faster and easier way. In addition, intelligent people do not like to open themselves to others. This will lead intelligent people hardly know how to communicate to others. Therefore, wisdom is very important to a good leader.
In conclusion, people with good emotional control, good attitude and good experience are people with wisdom and this lead them to be a good leader.

Wa! you can really digitalize the intelligence and wisdom well and compare them. However, you did not convince me.
Yes, I completely agree with much of what you have written in regards with yours writting topic. However I just wish to suggest. Over the years do we not teach the very young to be wise. And does wisdom not entail the holder to not pass judgment upon a very important topic such as intelligence. You suggest facts such as: "intelligent people will not believe on others and they will feel shame" if other shine better. I simply and truly agree that intelligent people do have arrogance however it is not wise to paint all people who are intelligent as people incapable of believing in others. Another fact that :"intelligent people do not like to open themselves to others". This I believe is stated to be a personal issue. Simply because the opposite argument could be simply argued. Is it not acceptable to state that social intelligence can actually cause someone to open up more. In this case I will simply say that there are many different types of intelligence to be learned and having a complete intelligent view of decisions in a variety of situations is what some people call wisdom. Now if we think for a while did Gandhi or Buddha not study to build their intelligence for years before walking the path to their goals.
