Abstract

In today’s highly turbulent world, organizational leaders are largely adrift in an uncertain global interconnected economy, where not only cultures but also religions, their belief systems and their values, are in increasing interaction and potential conflict. The aims of this chapter are to (1) present concepts of wisdom and wise leadership that are based on both eastern and western philosophical, religious, and spiritual traditions; (2) discuss the relevance of wise leadership at work for stakeholders, including employees, managers, and local communities as well as the sustainability of the physical environment; and (3) propose implications for the development of effective wise long-term organizational leadership. This chapter aspires to provoke readers to conceive of how organizations can benefit from wise leader/managers, who utilize wisdom for both organizational and societal sustainability in their daily decision-making.
