Professor of Philosophy at the University of Minnesota Valerie Tiberius defines wisdom as the set of dispositions, skills and policies that help us deliberate about what matters in life, and then translating that into choices and actions.
That is one of the favourite definitions of wisdom for Arash Arabi, a globally recognised transformation consultant, international speaker, entrepreneur and Taekwondo World Champion.
It is basically figuring out what is good and then achieving those things while helping others to do so as well.
As Arabi declares: “Wisdom gives us the ability to be resilient in the face of challenges and enables us to make the right decisions – decisions that not only lead to the best outcomes for you or me but also for those around us and which lead to making society a better place.”
“In today’s age of uncertainty and change, organisations are facing unique challenges and difficult decisions every day. How organisations respond to these challenges defines if they are wise or not. A wise enterprise makes decisions that lead to not only higher profits but also happier employees, happier customers, and improvements in their communities, from the local to the global.”
Learn how to reshape your organisation for the age of uncertainty. The Wise Enterprise brings together a set of capabilities essential for professionals who want to contribute to the wisdom of their organisations. This is not a theoretical book, but one that’s filled with practical examples and hands-on practices.
