Why WICS?
• You need CREATIVE skills to come up with ideas
• You need ANALYTICAL skills to decide whether ideas are good ideas
• You need PRACTICAL skills to make your ideas functional and to convince others of the value of your ideas
• You need WISDOM to balance the effects of ideas on yourself, others, and institutions in both the short and long terms

Properties ofPractical Intelligence
• Tacit knowledge: What you need to know that it not explicitly taught and that usually is not even verbalized
• The role of tacit knowledge• Measuring tacit knowledge• Developing tacit knowledge

Key Findings regardingPractical Intelligence
• Experience matters, but what really matters is how much one learns from it
• Not much related to IQ or g• Not much related to personality
or cognitive styles• Predicts managerial
performance

Why Smart Leaders can be so “Dumb”
• The “what me worry” fallacy• The egocentrism fallacy• The omniscience fallacy• The omnipotence fallacy• The invulnerability fallacy

Why Intelligence is not EnoughLeaders can be:• Creatively intelligent (e.g., in
generating novel, strategic targets for terrorist attacks)
• Analytically intelligent (e.g., in assessing the advantages and disadvantages of those targets)
• Practically intelligent (e.g., in delivering the attacks to those targets)
without being wise!

Why Wisdom is Especially Important in Current TimesHumans have made enormous strides
in technology, including destructive technology, without corresponding advances in their wisdom with regard to the uses of this technology (and perhaps with regard to anything else either)
This mismatch between the development of technology and the lack of development of wisdom places the world at enormous risk!
![Page 18: A model for developing leadership expertise](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a80eb11a28abed538b459f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Wisdom Means
• Knowing what you know• Knowing what you do not
know• Knowing what you can know
(at a given time and place)• Knowing what you cannot
know (at a given time and place)

Is Wisdom Universal?
Fundamental values (not necessarily beliefs) appear to be largely the same across the world’s great religions and ethical systems, for example, in their stressing, in relations with others:
1. Reciprocity (the Golden Rule)2. Sincerity3. Honesty4. Integrity5. Compassion
![Page 20: A model for developing leadership expertise](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a80eb11a28abed538b459f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Balance Theory of WisdomWisdom is1) The application of successful
intelligence2) Toward the attainment of a
common good3) Through a balance among
intrapersonal, interpersonal, and extrapersonal interests

The Balance Theory of Wisdom4) Over the short term, and long terms5) Through the mediation of values6) By acting so as to balance
adaptation to, shaping, and selection of environments

The Problem with Proverbs
1. They sometimes contradict each other (e.g., “Out of sight, out of mind” and “Absence makes the heart grow fonder”)
2. They sometimes are plain wrong (e.g., “Spare the rod, spoil the child”)
3. The lessons they teach are often a matter of interpretation (e.g., “All’s well that ends well”)

Conclusions
• WICS provides a useful model for leadership. It begins with wisdom. Without wisdom, there is no expert leadership. Wisdom can and should be developed.
