It's easy to look around and find folly among leaders. Corporations prioritize short-term benefits over long-term effects on society. Organizations follow charismatic leaders' whims at the expense of the people they serve. Churches are known more for hypocrisy and dysfunction than truth and grace. Yet it's not always easy to avoid our own foolishness, recognize wisdom, and lead others well.
In her work as a therapist and consultant, Christina Edmondson has learned how to heed the voice of wisdom amid the noise. In this practical guide, she offers a road map to making wise decisions, explains how to effectively offer wise counsel to others, and shows why wisdom is the essential key to relational and organizational health. Drawing on a range of examples from King Solomon to Martin Luther King Jr., Edmondson shows how wisdom includes both shrewdness and a commitment to justice.
Leaders in higher education, churches, and mission-driven businesses will learn how to help their organizations flourish. The book includes end-of-chapter questions for reflection and discussion.
