Practical Wisdom Philosophical and Psychological Perspectives

Leadership and Wisdom Narrating the Future Responsibly

Practical Wisdom in Management Business Across Spiritual Traditions

Collaborative Wisdom From Pervasive Logic to Effective Operational Leadership

Collaborative Wisdom From Pervasive Logic to Effective Operational Leadership

Why do some corporate superstars collapse dramatically while others survive and prosper over many decades? Is the fall primarily caused by ’technical factors’ such as poor products and pricing financial management or market choices by self-aggrandisement or perhaps by poor leadership attributes and capabilities? Greg Park argues that ultimately organisational survival and optimal performance over the long term is dependent upon collaborative wisdom. Within the dominant coalition of a successful community or corporation there is an inherited pervasive commonly and collectively held dominant logic comprising leadership principles perspectives and priorities based upon universal values which are understood and accepted as satisfying the requirements and aspirations of each stakeholder. This collaborative wisdom ensures cohesive and consistent behaviour across and within every function of a complex fast-moving organization. Its practical application is reflected in the daily operational decisions of leaders within the organisation be they divisional departmental heads or supervisors. Without collaborative wisdom organisational collapse is the inevitable result primarily through the disintegration of belief confidence motivation cohesion advocacy and energy within and between key stakeholder groups. Collaborative Wisdom examines the nature and criticality of wisdom as a leadership attribute how effective operational leadership is not just about knowledge and experience but more fundamentally about a cognitive mental process which considers and consistently applies fundamental values principles perspectives and priorities in an analytical and affective manner. This ensures effective operational leadership and optimal organisational performance over the long term informed by experience instinct intuition but also by insight judgment and ultimately wisdom. | Collaborative Wisdom From Pervasive Logic to Effective Operational Leadership

Literature Social Wisdom and Global Justice Developing Systems Thinking through Literary Study

This book responds to the pressing and increasingly recognized need to cultivate social wisdom for addressing major problems confronting humanity. Connecting literary studies with some of the biggest questions confronted by researchers and students today the book provides a practical approach to thinking through and potentially solving global problems such as poverty inequality crime war racism classism environmental decline and climate change. Bracher argues that solving such problems requires “systems thinking” and that literary study is an excellent way to develop the four key cognitive functions of which systems thinking is composed which are causal analysis prospection/strategic planning social cognition and metacognition. Drawing on evidence-based learning theory as well as the latest research on systems thinking and its four cognitive functions the book provides a comprehensive and detailed explanation of how these advanced thinking skills can be developed through literary study illustrating the process with numerous examples from major works of literature. In explaining the nature and importance of these thinking skills and the ability of literary study to develop them this book will be of value to literature teachers and students from introductory to advanced levels and to anyone looking to develop better problem-solving and decision-making skills. | Literature Social Wisdom and Global Justice Developing Systems Thinking through Literary Study

Theorising Civil Society Peacebuilding The Practical Wisdom of Local Peace Practitioners in Northern Ireland 1965–2015

Using empirical qualitative research this book conceptualises and demonstrates the value of local practical knowledge for peacebuilding in the context of Northern Ireland. There are increasing calls to involve local people to ensure legitimacy relevance and sustainability when seeking to build peace and transform violent conflict. However as peacebuilding becomes increasingly professionalised this raises fundamental questions about whose knowledge matters for building peace and what kind of knowledge matters. Seeking to address these questions and to learn from applied practice this book provides a qualitative empirical research study investigating 40 practitioners active in conflict transformation at a grassroots level in Northern Ireland over 50 years. This research led not only to recapturing lost knowledge from practitioners but also to a neglected ‘virtue’ – the Aristotelian concept of practical wisdom phronesis. This book argues that phronesis has deepened our understanding of why ‘local’ practical knowledge is vitally important and calls for its global rediscovery as knowledge necessary for building sustainable peace. This book will be of much interest to practioners and students in the fields of peacebuilding conflict resolution philosophy and British and Irish politics. | Theorising Civil Society Peacebuilding The Practical Wisdom of Local Peace Practitioners in Northern Ireland 1965–2015
