As part of their study, they convened a panel of experts and asked them for further comments on the trends and patterns emerging from the literature. They produced a list of six characteristics that combine to make up wisdom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The list includes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">General knowledge of life and social decision making\u00a0 \u2013 an understanding of the way life and social interactions come about.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emotional regulation \u2013 an ability to manage emotions and their impact on others, often referred to as EQ.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prosocial behaviours like compassion and empathy \u2013 they care about their teams and people at large.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insight or self-reflection \u2013 they can stand back from themselves and view their actions and attitudes objectively.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acceptance of different value systems \u2013 they are tolerant of people who are different from themselves.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decisiveness \u2013 they can sum up a situation and take action.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our wisdom is rooted in our vulnerability to know what we think and to stand behind it and for it. It requires us to respond to what we believe about ourselves and the world of our experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is helpful to think about the wise people who have come into our lives. A grandparent, a boss who really understood you. An acquaintance who touched your life with a single comment. And the mark they left on you was not just in solving a problem or being technically competent. They connected with you at a deep human level. There was an acknowledgement that they too had passed by a matter very like the one you were then confronting. And they left you with the certain inspiration that you too would rise above the challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wisdom must be earned. It is the companion of those whose lives have been filled with conflict and hardship. Building wisdom is a process of refinement, of scraping off the petty dross until the noble metal is revealed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trust your wisdom as it grows and unfolds. It is the compassionate answer to a troubled co-worker. It is the small but strident ethical voice that warns you against taking a foolish decision. Wisdom will give you a unique insight into the bigger picture, as well as the nuances of intimate detail. Wisdom will empower you to stand up in a room full of powerful people and disagree with your conscience. Wisdom allows you to see beyond the tribulations of now to the solace of the yet-to-be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some prompts to carry with you on your journey into wisdom.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Think before you speak<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hold back, reflect, and consider how others might receive your contribution. Put everything into perspective, and review the facts, not the assumptions<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. There is never a &#8216;right time&#8217;<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is never a right time to introduce a new system or confront an underperforming employee. Action is the companion of wisdom. Do it now.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Balance your self-interest with the collective good<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not all about you, but it is also not all about the others. Find the happy fulcrum point, that is part of what it means to be growing in wisdom. Balance what you want with what is best for others.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Don&#8217;t accept the status quo<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just because everyone does something doesn&#8217;t mean you have to. Step back from the crowd and observe. Ask why they are doing this. And ask yourself if you truly want to do it. Think for yourself. That little voice again.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Keep your power\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t let other people\u2019s anger or bad attitude poison your world. You are the one who decides what thoughts and feelings you want to harbour. Own your power and keep your happiness by not allowing negative thoughts to live in your head.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Don&#8217;t judge <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> try to understand\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wise people don&#8217;t judge. They practice empathy. Empathy means putting yourself in another person&#8217;s position and seeing the situation from their perspective.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7. Think positive thoughts<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot is going on in your head. And every now and then a negative thought arrives and makes itself at home. Put it out of your mind. Use compartmentalisation, mindfulness, or physical exercise. Your mind belongs to you, not to the negativity of others.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8. Read a lot and read widely<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Books are power food for your brain (in digital or hard copy form). Leave out browsing casual online news and content. We are talking about anything, from history to economics, to psychology. We all need to be intellectually challenged. That doesn&#8217;t happen a lot at our work or in social interactions. And it certainly doesn&#8217;t happen when we&#8217;re consuming entertainment content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to acquire knowledge is to read a book or take a course. Learn about a variety of different matters. It will stretch your mind. Confront your prejudices.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wisdom arises from the accumulation of patterns of experience, an understanding of the variety and complexity of human experience and the ability to apply this wider context to a given situation.
