This innovative book excavates hidden wisdoms from 17 diverse language cultures around the world, from Arabic and British-English to Russian and Swahili. Further, it explores their critical insights for global leadership, extrapolating important lessons on group dynamics, decision-making, conflict management, motivation, ethics, communication, diversity, strategy, and organizational effectiveness.Integrating an international team of experts, Global Leadership and Wisdoms of the World is based on the premise that languages, and especially hard-to-translate terms, reveal assumptions, values, and praxes that are often misread outside of regional contexts. Each chapter uses examples from local leaders and businesses to scrutinize how key language terms around wisdom reflect and guide many aspects of management and organization, including cognition, emotion, moral standards, mission and vision, collaboration, and execution. Ultimately, the book showcases how these ‘wisdoms of the world’ enhance leadership literacy and bridge global environments, pursuing a sustainably positive impact while navigating the complexities of international business and cross-cultural management.Students and academics seeking to navigate complexities and challenges in business management, leadership, ethics and trust, climate action, and diversity and inclusion will find this an invigorating read. The strategies and methods for incorporating local wisdoms are also highly beneficial to professionals in media and communication, education, diplomacy, and public policy.

"A brilliant and comprehensive introduction to the most seminal component of leadership: wisdom. The diversity of the readings and wisdom of the authors make this a most original and valuable addition to the management canon."—Warren Bennis, Distinguished Professor of Management, University of Southern California and author of On Becoming a Leader"This wonderful compilation proves that management is as much art as science, and that deep thinking can inform and inspire practice to be more humane, ethical, and, yes, wise."—Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Harvard Business School Professor and best-selling author of Confidence: How Winning Streaks and Losing Streaks Begin and End"If you′ll forgive a pun, this is a wise book about organizational and managerial wisdom. It shows what′s possible when some of our best thinkers turn their collective attention to such timely subjects as EQ, negotiation, global politics, and individual and organizational ethics."—Steve Kerr, Chief Learning Officer, Goldman Sachs, and Past President of the Academy of Management"One of the ′most promising′ forthcoming management books."—EUROPEAN ACADEMY OF MANAGEMENT"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."–Karl E. Weick, Distinguished Professor of Organizational Behavior and Psychology,University of Michigan 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. Key FeaturesOrganizes wisdom around the five primary philosophical branches—logic, ethics, aesthetics, epistemology, and metaphysicsApplies wisdom in organizations and management through international examples that synthesize a set of practical principles for academics and practicing managersOffers an outstanding collection of world-renowned scholars who give profound insights regarding wisdom

In discussing a management topic, scholars, educators, practitioners, and the media often toss out the name of a theorist (Taylor, Simon, Weber) or make a sideways reference to a particular theory (bureaucracy, total quality management, groupthink) and move on, as if assuming their audience possesses the necessary background to appreciate and integrate the reference. This is often far from the case. Individuals are frequently forced to seek out a hodgepodge of sources varying in quality and presentation to provide an overview of a particular idea. This work is designed to serve as a core reference for anyone interested in the essentials of contemporary management theory. Drawing together a team of international scholars, it examines the global landscape of the key theories and the theorists behind them, presenting them in the context needed to understand their strengths and weaknesses to thoughtfully apply them. In addition to interpretations of long-established theories, it also offers essays on cutting-edge research as one might find in a handbook. And, like an unabridged dictionary, it provides concise, to-the-point definitions of key concepts, ideas, schools, and figures. Features and Benefits: Two volumes containing over 280 signed entries provide users with the most authoritative and thorough reference resources available on management theory, both in terms of breadth and depth of coverage. Standardized presentation format, organized into categories based on validity and importance, structures entries so that readers can assess the fundamentals, evolution, and impact of theories. To ease navigation between and among related entries, a Reader’s Guide groups entries thematically and each entry is followed by Cross-References. In the electronic version, the Reader’s Guide combines with the Cross-References and a detailed Index to provide robust search-and-browse capabilities. An appendix with a Chronology of Management Theory allows readers to easily chart directions and trends in thought and theory from early times to the present. An appendix with Central Management Insights allows readers to easily understand, compare, and apply major theoretical messages of the field. Suggestions for Further Reading at the end of each entry guide readers to sources for more detailed research and discussion. Key themes include: Nature of Management Managing People, Personality, and Perception Managing Motivation Managing Interactions Managing Groups Managing Organizations Managing Environments Strategic Management Human Resources Management International Management and DiversityManagerial Decision Making, Ethics, and CreativityManagement Education, Research, and ConsultingManagement of Operations, Quality, and Information SystemsManagement of EntrepreneurshipManagement of Learning and ChangeManagement of Technology and InnovationManagement and LeadershipManagement and Social / Environmental IssuesPLUS: Appendix of Chronology of Management Theory PLUS: Appendix of Central Management Insights
