Wisdom and Leadership: A Constructive-Developmental Perspective
Lambert Academia Publishing
How leaders experience wisdom is important to our overall understanding of leadership. This work explores qualitative findings that may advance academic discourse and research between leadership, wisdom, and constructive-developmental theories. The present study examined executive leaders who assessed at the conventional and post-conventional stages of adult development and how they experience wisdom. It is significant in that it addresses a gap in the literature between wisdom and…
How leaders experience wisdom is important to our overall understanding of leadership. This work explores qualitative findings that may advance academic discourse and research between leadership, wisdom, and constructive-developmental theories. The present study examined executive leaders who assessed at the conventional and post-conventional stages of adult development and how they experience wisdom. It is significant in that it addresses a gap in the literature between wisdom and constructive-developmental theory. Contrary to research that defines and operationalizes wisdom as the integration of the cognitive, affective, and reflective domains of wisdom, findings indicate that participants experience wisdom in one or more of the domains of wisdom. Participants were assessed for their meaning-making capacity to determine their stage of development using the SCTi-Map instrument.

Isabel's God
James & Brookfield Publications
Isabel's God is about moving past what should have been, to the peaceful acceptance of what is. "After almost thirty years of striving to solve, correct, and arrange the details of my world, I have come to believe that it is in our most powerful and painful experience of loss that we come to more fully know God, "Sharon writes, "and it is in knowing God that we ultimately come to realize our potential for greatness."

"After almost thirty years of striving to solve, correct, and arrange the details of my world, I have come to believe that it is in our most powerful and painful experience of loss that we come to more fully know God, "Sharon writes, "and it is in knowing God that we ultimately come to realize our potential for greatness."
In chronicling the life of Sharon's son Michael, who was born with a life-threatening metabolic disorder, the book teaches us how frustration, anger, and pain can ultimately lead us to the joy of perfect love.
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING: I felt as if I had traveled a great distance on a journey full of heartbreak, but also of triumph of the spirit . . . I felt a deep spirituality emanating from the pages, along with a quiet ferocity of purpose.
