wise.”

collective attention to such timely subjects as EQ,
negotiation, global politics, and individual and
organizational ethics.”

‘most promising’ forthcoming management books.”

“To wade into the topic
wisdom is to see organizing differently. To wade into
this volume is to see wisdom differently. Both forms of
effort embody a wonderful moment of wisdom itself.”

Some interesting issues emerge
when one views organizations from a wisdom-based
perspective. Does technology promote or inhibit wisdom?
How do HR systems, organizational forms, management
practices, and operational capabilities relate to
wisdom? What are the ethical and social dimensions of
wisdom? What makes a wise leader? Can wisdom be
developed and utilized strategically? Do conceptions and
manifestations of wisdom vary across cultures? Can one
teach wisdom?
Editors Eric Kessler and
James Bailey have produced a ground-breaking compendium
of globally renowned thinkers in the Handbook
of Organizational and Managerial Wisdom. This
Handbook systematically explores the characteristics
of understanding, applying, and developing
organizational and managerial wisdom.
