Organizational Wisdom and Executive Courage

Rating:
Summary: Deep and stimulating-a book rich in thought.
Review: This scholarly, insightful collection of essays tackle the nebulous subject of wisdom. Overall, wisdom is seen as something created in the relationships and communication among individuals. It involves widening one's awareness of purpose, process, action and outcomes; it integrates being, knowing, doing and effecting. Wisdom involves imaginative knowing (building on what is known to challenge both the past and present and to enact the future). This requires courage and freedom to think and communicate. This is a deep and stimulating book that offers value and challenges the reader to think in ways that many of us are unaccustomed to doing.
