- Synopsis
- 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.
