“Wisdom is not developable, as if it's a matter of luck or personality or genetics. Well it's just not the case. Wisdom involves our accumulated knowledge about a subject but also a reverence for life, for an understanding that our immediate actions have long-term consequences, and for an appreciation that there are different ways of knowing and understanding situations.” DifferentActionUnderstandingSituationPersonalityConsequenceLuckAppreciationReverence Author:Alan Briskin
“Wisdom in groups emerges as a product of commitments we make with ourselves and to each other. These stances are not abstract rules but tangible practices that must be renewed each time we are in groups. They are essentially commitments and attitudes that foster collaboration and positive collective action.” ActionAttitudeCommitmentAbstractCollaboration Author:Alan Briskin
