In traditional business circles, wisdom is viewed with a certain
scepticism, which is in part due to its historical associations
with wisdom traditions and spiritual cultures. However, in business
today, wisdom is emerging not only as a viable but also a necessary
organizational and management practice. In particular, practical
wisdom is being updated and retranslated for today's issues and
concerns in organizations. In recent years, leadership and
organizational studies have initiated important changes in the way
in which business-as-usual is conducted. In response to the
increasingly complex and uncertain conditions of our international
business environment, a growing community of
'scholar-practitioners' are pushing the boundaries of traditional
organizational and leadership thinking and acting, making inroads
into processes and applications of practical wisdom and ways of
wise leading and managing. Given the unprecedented levels of
challenges, dynamics and uncertainties that today's organizations
are exposed to, there is a need for a more integrative and
sustainable approach to managing. Following the need for a
reconsideration and revival of the meaning of wisdom, the editors
explore vitalizing possibilities for the learning of wise practices
in organizing and leading. This expansive range of domains where
wisdom is currently being explored suggests a promising number of
perspectives and possibilities for future inquiries and
explorations into the nexus of wisdom and organization,
leadership/management education and learning that benefits from
cross-disciplinary synergies. This book will be of interest to
those seeking to understand the growing significance of wisdom in
relation to learning and teaching, especially in business and
management education.
