ABSTRACT

Wisdom is developmental. It requires us to access new, fundamentally different, ways of thinking about the world. If we think differently then we will act differently. If we want our leaders to behave differently, if we have strong beliefs around achieving pragmatic, practical outcomes, we won’t see those outcomes realized without paying attention to how people think. The Wise Leader offers leaders practical guidance on how to help leaders think and behave wisely, and it offers leadership development professionals guidance on how to build programs to support that process.
