 Developing Wisdom for Daily BusinessBertine Hoof and Robert J. Blomme Chapter 25 in Another State of Mind, 2014, pp 339-340 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract You may find many good reasons in this book as to why it is important to develop the virtue of wisdom: some coming from an economic level, some from a microeconomic level and some from the challenges faced daily when doing business. These developments inspired us to publish this book on wisdom. It addressing many of the business world’s current challenges in a very unique way: from the perspective of ancient wisdom traditions. Our role has been to unlock wisdom from the great wisdom traditions and to integrate it into management practice and business — an endeavor that may appear to be very optimistic. Some would term this as naive. However, we hold the view that every human being has the potential to unlock wisdom from inside themselves, driven by the desire to become a better human. In becoming a better executive, director, manager, professional and practitioner, one must pay attention to personal as well as professional development. In reflection, we must not shut our eyes to our dark traits which are susceptible to power, greed, prodigality and egoism. It is our task to master these dark traits by exercising our good traits (Van Hoof and Blomme, 2013).
