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.
The current financial and on-going ecological crises have taught us
that without practical wisdom, business, organisations and
leadership cannot be sustainable. In response to this situation,
the Handbook of Practical Wisdom presents a critically informed
understanding of wise practices, contributing to more integrative
organizational and leadership studies and practice. The focus on
integration emphasises the interdependencies of practical wisdom in
relation to members, groups and cultures of organisations in their
socio-cultural spheres. Wisdom has long slipped from the scholarly
map, and so this handbook provides revived and new mappings for
today and the future. Seeking to actualize creative potentials of
practical wisdom, this book and series aspires to contribute to the
contemporary odysseys and quests for orientation in organisation
and management research and practice. Wisdom research, as presented
in this book, provides bridges to underestimated, neglected or
forgotten knowledge and offers transformative passages between
Scylla - the rocks of dogmatic modernity - and Charybdis - the
whirlpool of dispersed post-modernity. Practical wisdom allows for
a better equipped and more experiential and reflexive journey and
fosters the art of mindful travelling, beyond a reactive,
moralizing sentimentalism. Accordingly, this handbook serves as a
medium for reassessing and rearticulating more responsible ways of
'praxis' in the field of organization and management. In this
spirit, each chapter opens a space for dialogue and debate,
inviting further inquiries, conversations and explorations by and
among its readers: students, academics and practitioners.
This book assembles multi-disciplinary contributions to delve
deeper into ReThinking Management. The first part provides some
foundational considerations and inspirations. Further chapters
offer more specific links to the arts and creativity sectors as
well as empirical research and case reflections. ReThinking
Management pursues the main idea that management theory is not
merely a sub-discipline of economics, but rather a
cross-disciplinary and critical field of research and practice,
with a decidedly cultural perspective. While questioning the status
and practices of conventional management, the book opens up for new
understandings, turns and perspectives.

Leadership and Wisdom: Narrating the Future Responsibly gives
business students and practitioners the opportunity to re-read
tales, poems, myths and fables that have been interpreted by
leading management scholars in order to translate the world's folk
wisdom into insightful and actionable lessons for a more
responsible leadership practice. Most, if not all, cultures
generate narratives that teach people how to make sense of the
world and how to respond to challenges with wisdom. These sources
provide a medium for character, as well as a guide for
decision-making in ambiguous and uncertain circumstances.
Management and organization scholars increasingly focus on what
narrative wisdom traditions can teach us about leadership and
organizational practices, and this book is designed to bring it to
students and practitioners. Statler and Kupers have assembled a
world-class team of contributors, who reflect on narratives near
and dear to them, and draw out the lessons for leaders. With
consistency throughout and end-of-chapter questions, this book
enables all readers - including undergraduate and postgraduate
students of leadership, management and organization studies, as
well as interested researchers and practitioners - to reflect on
the contents and implications of folk wisdom.

Das Buch stellt einen eigenstandigen und innovativen Beitrag zur
Steuerung von Organisationen/Unternehmen dar. Ausgehend von der
These, dass traditionelle Steuerungsmedien ihre Wirksamkeit
teilweise drastisch eingebusst haben, weil sie zu oft einseitig an
bestimmten Adressaten (z.B. Akteure, Fuhrungskrafte, Kultur) oder
Mechanismen (z.B. Formales, Funktionen) orientiert waren, wird ein
Gegenentwurf bzw. innovative Neukonzipierung versucht. Eine
integrierte Sichtweise bezieht systematisch die vier zentralen
Steuerungsfelder einer jeden Organisation (Psyche, Verhalten,
Kultur sowie Strukturen/Systeme) ein sowie erfasst deren Vernetzung
in einer zusammenhangenden Weise. Erst auf dieser veranderten Basis
kann dann ein ansprechender Ansatz zur integralen Gestaltung von
Fuhrungs- und Organisationsfragen in Organisationen/Unternehmen
adaquat thematisiert werden. Die Betrachtung der Relationen von
Individuum und Organisation sowie von Organisation und Gesellschaft
erweitern daruber hinaus den ublichen Blickwinkel."
Durch Integration von atmospharischen, rollentheoretischen und
symbolisch-narrativen Aspekten erarbeitet der Autor ein vertieftes
Verstandnis von Dienstleistungsqualitat, das uber die bisherige
Dienstleistungsforschung hinausgeht."
