A practical guide for leading others with wisdom, integrity, and humanity. This book argues that great leadership requires wisdom. Rather than a formulaic managerial approach to leadership, "Lead with Wisdom" presents the case for leadership based on our shared humanity and the stories that unite us. What emerges is a model of leadership based on learning to read key patterns of human experience: the way language shapes our reality, how we form new meaning through conversation, how show more relationships determine influence and how we deal with uncertainty. It presents readers with the tools and illustrated examples to implement the four arts of leading wisely: how to draw out and create a new story in the organization, how to find and leverage the brilliance of people, how to speak with promise to restore meaning and hope, and how to show grace in dealing with the most demanding people and circumstances. Offers a leadership approach rooted in our shared humanity and the stories which unite and define usIdeal for corporate leaders, middle managers, administrators, and anyone else with management responsibilities. Written by a popular speaker on leadership and the author of "Arts of the Wise Leader," with personal CEO experience and a PhD in the history of ideas. Structured as one key idea per page or double page spread with funky line drawings supporting the concepts and skills. show less
