From smart to wise : acting and leading with wisdom / by Prasad Kaipa. - New Delhi , India : Random House India ; 2013. - xv, 250 p. ; HB

A fresh and timely approach to nurturing wise, resilient, and flexible leadership in a world of growing complexity
Leaders insist on sticking to the time-tested formulae of either functional leadership-that focuses on operational excellence or smart leadership-that focuses on growth. When a leaders focus is too functional, the organization becomes introverted and can focus too much on bottom-line profitability while missing out on top-line growth opportunities. But when leaders focus too much on smart leadership, the organization may experience quick growth but lose its effectiveness quickly. To strike a fine balance between From Smart to Wise provides a fresh and timely approach to nurturing wise, resilient, and flexible leadership in a world of growing complexity.
Drawing on inspiring real-life stories of historical and contemporary wise leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi, Bill Gates, and Warren Buffet-the authors identify six characteristics of wise leaders and offer a practical framework to help readers develop their own style of wise leadership that is both functional and smart.
