wise: characterized by wisdom; marked by deep understanding, keen discernment, and a capacity for sound judgment
Now, more than ever, we need leaders that consciously cultivate both outer-context and inner-awareness intelligence to benefit society at large.
Our world is ever-changing and the reality is that everything is contextual. We need leaders who value letting go of old certainties and want to step into their intuition, logic, and emotions to serve our brave new world, where uncertainty is the norm.
Recent research argues that wise leaders are the best fit to cultivate agile, inclusive, and sustainable organizations. Promoting an innovative mind, a relational heart, and an ecological soul, wise leaders embody our next paradigm.
This sort of leadership requires responding from your wise mind - a place that balances the inherent value of both our reasonable mind and our emotional mind. Here, the soil is rich in reflective curiosity and openness, and complexity is embraced as an agent towards emerging solutions.
Wise leadership considers true success to be about the development of each person's character and compassion, as well as the quality of resulting work. It is where practice is an intentional activity designed to increase skill, learning, and competency.
