Practical Wisdom Philosophical and Psychological Perspectives

Leadership and Wisdom Narrating the Future Responsibly

Wisdom Learning Perspectives on Wising-Up Business and Management Education

Wisdom Learning Perspectives on Wising-Up Business and Management Education

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. | Wisdom Learning Perspectives on Wising-Up Business and Management Education

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

Wisdom Analytics and Wicked Problems Integral Decision Making for the Data Age

Wisdom Analytics and Wicked Problems Integral Decision Making for the Data Age

The challenges faced by 21st-century businesses organizations and governments are characterized as being fundamentally different in nature scope and levels of impact from those of the past. As problems become increasingly complex and wicked conventional reductive approaches and data-based solutions are limited. The authors argue that practical wisdom is required. This book provides an integral and practical model for incorporating wisdom into management decision making. Based on a cross-disciplinary conceptualization of practical wisdom the authors distinguish systematically between data information knowledge and wisdom-based decision making. While they suggest that data analytics information and knowledge can assist decision-makers to better deal with complex and wicked problems they argue that data-based systems cannot replace optimized human decision-making capabilities. These capabilities the authors explain include a range of qualities and characteristics inherent in philosophical psychological and organizational conceptions of practical wisdom. Accordingly in this book the authors introduce a model that identifies the specific qualities and processes involved in making wise decisions especially in management. The model is based on the empirical fi ndings of the authors’ studies in the areas of wisdom and management. This book is a practical resource for professionals practitioners and consultants in both the private and public sectors. The theoretical discussions critical arguments and practical guidelines provided in the book will be extremely valuable to students at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels as well as upper-level postdoctoral researchers looking at business management strategies. | Wisdom Analytics and Wicked Problems Integral Decision Making for the Data Age

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

The Wisdom of Balahvar A Christian Legend of the Buddha

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

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
